Any 2wd lifts out there? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It seems I read about drops all the time and parts for them are easy to find. I've been looking around the web lately for a few inches fo rmy 2wd 3/4 ton.

Has anyone tried it or come across any lifts in their travels around the web?

Fabtech?

check out ebay for coil spring spacers for the back or make your own.. and the front coils are out there...

I checked fabtech. They only do newer trucks. I have a cross menber, spindles and upper and lower control arms off a 78 that I was going to use to convert to discs but before I did the deed I wanted to check my options and fix as many of my issues at one time. I haven't even seen much for that era truck. Apparently I need an 88-up.

I haven't seen the taller front coils. I have a leafspring rear end so that end is not an issue.

I was hoping for something that may give me a bit more articulation. This thing doesn't flex at all and I can get one tire off the ground pretty easily. It's always in the rear and I'm stuck. Maybe I should get a xfer case and an axle and make it a K20.

You might do a search on pre-runner sites.That's a 2 wd off roader.They should be able to give you some ideas.

1 ton springs would lift the front a few inches higher
