Outfitting 79 GMC C30 with 88-98 2wd Lift Spindles

[Big-Sexy907]

Gentlemen,

I was bouncing around the forums searching for some detailed information on how to go about lifting the front of my 1979 GMC Camper Special. The truck is a 1 Ton Crew Cab Dually. I'm interested in getting a minimum of 6" of suspension lift in the front, and around 5" in the rear. I've seen that several members have used the 2wd lift spindles off the OBS trucks to get roughly 4" of front lift, and supposedly they just used a different balljoint and upper suspension arm. My question is; are the one ton lower arms the same as the 3/4 ton, and if I do this swap are there any other unforeseen circumstances I may encounter? Overall it seems fairly straight forward, (like replacing/updating the entire front end suspension to 88-98 equipment except for the lower control arm) and I think I could complete the swap in 3-5 days.

Does anyone else have a detailed parts list/build thread out there?
