I'm not aware of one, but the front suspension is pretty much the same as the 73-87 trucks, so you might be able to use the Fabtech Springs in the front.

I have the Fabtech kit on my 84 C10 2wd.

If your truck also has leaf springs in the back then you can use the same rear lift kit as well.

If you've got coils in the back then you should probably be able to find some stiffer/longer springs for the rear.

Funny thing about the Fabtech springs on my 84 is that the aren't any taller than the factory springs, just stiffer. However it actually improved the ride alot. The factory springs were too mushy.
