'81 2wd Stance

[nrider]

Ok guys I need a little bit of help. I'm still working on my '81 C10 2wd and am getting ready to start looking at suspension for the truck. I know a lot guys that will say slam it or drop it a few inches, but I'm actually looking for a little different look. While I do like the dropped look, I don't think it fits me or the truck. I've noticed a lot of guys going in and leveling off the stance by lowering the back about 2-3 inches to get it inline with the front. Is there a way to do the opposite and bring the front up to match the rear. Back when I was in highschool I bought some of those rubber spring spacers that go in the front from an auto parts store, but now I'm looking for something a little more permanent and that will hopefully give me a better ride. Any help or suggestions or build threads you guys know of would be great. Thanks, and I'll be posting pics on my build thread soon of the progress so far, engine goes in about 2 months

you can install 1 ton springs to bring up the front of the truck. problem is that you are basically topping out the suspension travel with just the springs. To give you some rebound back you will need to install an upper ball joint spacer, remove the stock bump stop and install a much thinner one.

Thanks guys, and N2 I'll check that out. I'm actually running 33x10.50 now, so that should work out great.
