69 C20 level front

[shmoishere]

I have searched and not found anything that helps with my situation. So, I am hopeful someone might have a solution for me.

I am attempting to level the front of my truck a couple inches. I purchased a set of coil spacers from a company called Spindle Source. That part was easy. The problem I have now is how to correct some of the geometry. What I am experiencing, and many others that have done this have as well, is a brutally harsh ride and poor alignment abilities. My truck went up about 2". The height looks great. However, the upper control arms are now riding extremely close to the upper bump stops. Also, the camber/caster is not able to be brought into spec. My initial thought was that ball joint spacers, or extended ball joints (flipped to the underside of the control arm), might solve a lot of my issue. Unfortunately, I cannot find either item for sale anywhere. I can find spacers for a 1971, but not for a 1969 C20. Does anyone know of a ball joint spacer that will work? Are there extended ball joints available for the 67-69 C20 trucks?

I am sure there are other approaches to doing this, perhaps upper control arms? I know that the ball joint angle is often changed. I just don't know about the clearances for the bump stops. I need that extra droop travel.

I know some have swapped out all the front-end parts on their trucks and utilized later model lift spindles. That's not what I'm hoping to do, because I want to retain the factory 8 lug wheels, and obviously that would start to get a little involved and expensive, for a low budget build like mine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
