Leveling info

Gentlemen,
I have a 1984 Gmc Sierra 4x4 pickup that I am in the process of restoring.
I would like to bring up the front suspention about 2-3" to match the back.
Any ideas from the least expensive to the most are appreciated.
I have included a photo of my truck so you can see the issue I would like to correct.
I am not really looking to lift it anymore just level her out.
Thank you,
brandnew84

A zero rate and some longer shackles.
Or new springs.

^That,or check at a spring shop.They sit like that from new.I took my`90 Blazer to a shop and hadthem arch and add one to level it up.It should run about $200.It didn`t dide ruffer.If anything,it rode better because firm is good up under the motor.Trucks ride better with the front up by transfering more onto the rear suspension.
