Yep stock with 31x10.5 tires. The way to roll 2wd

Re: How can I lift my 68 2wd c10?
 

okay I know this is an old thread...but I'm also wanting to lift my 69 C10 with trailing arm rear suspension & dropped front suspension. my question is, can the front be raised back to stock height on dropped spindles and just get stock springs or would I need to purchase stock spindles & also the stock springs? I'm wanting to go stock height and bigger/beefier tires (more thread) after the 4x4 look since it's a 2wd truck.

Funny that the 69-72 trucks have a 2" body lift available but none of the kids mention 67-68.

A buddy of mine is running 35" on his 68 GMC. I don't know the details of the kit, but the front is a CPP spindle kit that includes upper and lower arms. The rear is deaver leaves, and fox shocks at all corners.

I have a 1969 c10 LSX 2wd that has a 4in lift on the rear, and 3in on the front it can clear 35s with moderate trimming. But I prefer to keep it on 33s The rear of the truck has a 4in lift leaf spring on it. And the front has a 3in lift spindle from a 2008 chevy. I daily drive the truck about 60 miles everyday and it sees its fair share of offroading and can hang with lots of the 4wd squares just gotta be willin to send it.

I know it’s an old thread, but to whoever is still looking to lift their 2wd truck, I have the kit available. Lifts it up to 4” and gives you 12.5” of wheel travel. Keeping your stock steering and brakes. I fit 35” tires on mine with fiberglass fenders, but you can run 33’s with your stock fenders. More information at my website fullcirclefabrications.com

You might look for a C20, and use the suspension from the 20. Just thinking of my C20, and betting it sits a couple inches higher than a C10, although I have not measured. Remember, a standard C20 came with coils all around, but could have been ordered with leaf rear. I see quite a few C20's for sale, as they were left up until the last few years. I purchased one about 5 years ago as it was a big block truck, and my intent was to put 1/2 ton suspension on it and basically convert it, but after a while decided to stay with what it had. Downside was a little rougher ride, and very difficult to locate a decent set of wheels. I finally decided on a set of Accuride wheels, factory hub caps and some passenger rated tires that are 16's.

That’s cool looking truck! Looks like a fun setup

x2. Going to look the site up for future reference.

Re: How can I lift my 68 2wd c10?
 

That's a nice truck. I was thinking along the same lines, that someone could grab suspension off of a C20 or C30 and get some lift out of that. I like the way that you managed to tame the 3/4 ton a little bit. Seems like some good Bilsteins might help and just swapping out the springs if you really wanted the half-ton ride. With a long wheelbase and a big block in the front I think that would be a very nice highway cruiser pickup truck.

You can use 4.5” lift spindles for a 73-87 truck also, that’s what I did. Very simple to do. Fabtech made them years ago for a short time and they are very hard to find, however I believe another company is now manufacturing them again.
