Lift Kit for two wheel drive '71 2500?

Our youth group recently purchased a 1971 GMC 2500 long bed with a 350 and standard tranny for a tailgating/parade vehicle in our little Texas town of Bellville (pop. 3,500). Our goal is to put a 3"-6" lift kit on it but we're hitting a road block in that it's not a 4x4 and it's not new enough for there to be a kit that is made specifically for this year.

We're going for a suspension lift over a body lift BTW.

Anybody able to point me in the right direction here?

Thanks!
JB

Here are some links for you to look over.

basically all three say the same thing, convert the LCA to 3/4 and purchase a lift spindle for 88-98 chevy truck

Probably easier to swap to a solid axle set-up to get that much lift.
