67 K-10 burb needs lifted

does anyone know where I can locate a 4 to 6 inch "softride" suspension lift for this old beast?? as it sits now on stock suspension that reminds me of a 2 ton truck, or one sits that frame on axle. in other words it is ROUGH beyond reason. I want to lift it and I would like a much nicer ride. the stock springs on the front are a stack of 2 springs that are like 5/8 thick.any help is appreciated.

Re: 67 K-10 burb needs lifted

12 years ago I had my OE springs re arched, and they have been great all those years. But my fronts are starting to sag, and I am looking for a new set.

I emailed Deaver spring to see if they can help, and they said that a '68 Suburban was no problem.

I also found this website, but have not heard any good or bad about them.

I have heard many conflicting stories about the 67-68 leaf spring dimensions, as compared to the 69-72 spring dimensions so I am fearful of mail ordering anything until I am confident on what I am ordering for a 68 will fit.

So, I am interested what others here have to say as well.
