I have purchased new springs for the rear of my 84 C10, I am replacing the ball joints and coils soon and would like to know can I achieve a lift of 2-3" without alignment or tire wear problems by using coils to lift the truck.

I am not experienced with the suspension and not sure what to do that will be inexpensive. I have seen kits available but I am trying not to spend $600 unless that is the only or the best choice. I only have expereince with 4wd and rear supsension setups. I will also be replacing all tie rods and idler arms and also going to a polyurethane bushing kit at the same time. Would it help if I put C20/C30 springs in since the motor is a 6.2 dsl??

Almost forgot I would like to get 32s but will settle for 31s under the truck the 235s are big enough.

Thanks for the input.
