Re: 67-72 2wd lift
how far are you wanting to go? i've heard that the 3/4 ton springs in a 1/2 ton setup will net ~ 2 inches of lift. i wanted to do this, but needed to get my truck on the road quick, and couldn't find any 2wd 3/4 ton springs. someone else may be able to clarify this.

Re: 67-72 2wd lift
I used 3/4 ton V8 springs on the front of my 67 with 6banger, and got about 1 1/2 " over stock. Don't have any picts as it's torn down right now with no engine. Also, theres a guy running around town who got a spring shop to make him some new springs with about 3" of lift.

Re: 67-72 2wd lift
I used 3/4 ton 2wd front springs on my 68 but did not like the ride. Very stiff. I went to Rancho springs and shocks. They said 1.5" on the kit but I got a whopping 3" total and the ride is a lot less stiff.
Here are the part numbers and links. Springs - http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...ype=59&PTSet=A Front Shocks - http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...ype=49&PTSet=A Rear shocks - http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...ype=50&PTSet=A The rear springs are stock 3/4 ton varible rate http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...ype=60&PTSet=A
