Questions on lifting truck

[chevymadness]

I have a 82 half to and im looking to get some kind of lift to the damn 4x2.I would of liked to get a suspension lift just to level it out.But i think i want to get a shackle flip on the son of a gun.Someone told me i can get a h hinge shackle flip throw some wooden blocks and a leaf spring under the rear.And then put some 2500 coil springs up front.And im looking to get 4 inches ! Is this true.I was at a shop this morning a 4x4 place but they only refered me to some other "suspension professionals"shop as they didnt do older trucks lol.How much would a package like this cost im not spending more then 400 on this or id rather get a suspension spring lift and level it out.My truck already has shocks

I wouldn't trust anything from airbagit.com.You know fabtech use to make a 2wd lift kit if you look hard you might find one used on ebay or somewhere on the net.

My only worry would be longer springs putting the control arms out of their designed arc and inducing a lot of bumpsteer and accelerated wear.

Shackle flip, no wood blocks! Hit the junkyard or parts board and get a 4wd frame or components and swap a front axle onto your 2wd frame. You'd like it in the long run.

Run away from airbagit.com.
