Hello everyone

I need some advice, first time posting, I recently bought a 86 Chevy c10 matching number truck, supposedly 47k original miles. But my problem is the stance in the front, I would really like to level the truck and put some 31 inch bf Goodrich tires on it, it’s a long bed and not a 4wd and I can’t stand lowered c10, no offense guys. So I think my only option is to level the truck, put some bigger tires and leave the rest as is, since the truck is all original. Any advice would be appreciated.

My stock 78 c10 has 31s on all 4 corners with no problems at all. I know you want to level it but they will fit without it.

Welcome! Nice looking rig. Perhaps some big block springs? I remember reading somewhere that they do make spring spacers, maybe that’ll raise it a bit.

Welcome from Missouri.
I have 31”s on my 76 C10 with no alterations to the suspension (meaning worn front springs) and fit just fine.
