taller coil springs
 
there was an article about a month or so about lifting two wheel drives.
the person that had the article was lifting a 73 or 80 model truck.i don't remember the person that had the article. but i would like to know the name of the company that sells those 2inch lift coils because i'm planning on lifting my 91. so any info would be greatly appreicated.

if you get taller springs, you're also going to need taller shocks, otherwise you might max out the current ones by making the suspension seem 2" more extended. Get a shock 1 step bigger

They are expensive but they have lift kits for two drives

lift coils will also cause tierod/ball joint and tires to wear. It puts the tierods and ball joints to be at excessive angles. But as of right now, that is about the only way to lift a pre 88 truck.. The tubular control arms maybe designed to correct the tierod/balljoint angle, cheaper ones may not. As of right now i have not found anyone that makes a lift spindle for pre 88s. AIM use to, but no longer and not sure i would trust it.

theres also this saying:

"if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself"
