Krazy_texan,

Do a search here, and you'll find how i did mine. I lost all of my info when my old computer hard drive went south.

I did a 2" suspension and 2" body lift. It enabled me to run 33:10/50 Big"O tires.I used 1964 or 65 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser 455 front springs. That engine, body/frame combination was helaciously heavy. I have used this spring on many G.M vehicles that I have wanted to raise in the last few decades. It'll get you right at 2", with our trucks and a smallblock. When I had the front end aligned, It was off 1" degree because of the lift. I ran the truck like that for about 8 to 10 years. on and off road. no problems and no noticable sign of premature tire wear.

I have leafs in the rear, I went down toi a sring shop and had them build me some, that would raise the rear 2".
