How to level front end or accomplish a 2" lift - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 2WD 1970 C20 with all original shocks, coils, and leafs. I am a tall person and want to at the minimum level out my truck by raising the front end, but possibly add 2" lift for ease of accessing the cab.

Is this common?

What is the tire clearance once this is achieved?

How would I go about it?

I have read about rancho coils, but they seem to lift the front end way more then is needed. Am I right?

Thanks for all your input and suggestions, I really appreciate it.
