How do I "un-lower" my truck?
 
I just bought a 66 truck and it has been lowered. I would like to put it back right.
How big a job is this, or more likely, how much should I expect to pay someone to do this?

depends on how it was lowered, if the coils were replaced with drop springs, heated or cut you need to get new, stock height coils and install them, if they used drop spindles you need stock height spindles

SPRING COMPRESSORS FOR REPLACING SPRINGS ARE NOT NEEDED!!!!! It sounds like whoever said it would kill you if you didn't have one, obviously did NOT EVER UNLOWER A TRUCK LET ALONE LOWER ONE
