Chill out Nothing personal most members here make silly comments for fun. I would think you could raise it with either 3/4 ton springs or if you have leafs in the back you could add shackles.

p.s. you're not gonna make many friends with the pissy attitude.

2wd or 4wd?

Re: how to get a 1/2 ton to sit up like a 3/4??
 

its 2wd all im worried about is the front right now. the back will be blocked to level it out

do you know how much higher it is that you want to go? fabtech makes a 3" lift coil for 73-87 2wd trucks.

Check out the fabtech kit, its about 640-750$, a little costly for some you might also check and look at the truckin mag and see the ads for lifts of 3". I went the fabtech route but havent installed the kit yet, waiting till i replace the entire front suspension next month. One of the few C-10s with a fuel injected V8 and 30MPG!! :metal:

Hello check around an get you some heavy duty springs or call ece or cpp they have all kinds of springs but a 3/4 spring will ride harsh :cool:

Find a local spring shop to re-arch your springs.
On my 70 4x4 3/4 ton, I paid $491, tax included, for one day service to have the springs re-arched and have an add-a-leaf 2" lift front and rear. I will never worry about axle-wrap due to rear blocks. For the cost, you can't beat it. Plus, aftermarket springs are usually sloppy, and you will find that you cannot use as large a tire as you thought, and you can really get bouncy. The drawback is a stiffer ride, but better road handling, and your wheels will not droop as deep into gullies when you cross them.

Just order replacement springs for a 3/4 ton........ The only thing I would think you might want to double sheck is if the leaf springs are the same length from eyelet to eyelet.
