Re: I want to raise my 72 C30. where to get parts.

You could always go air ride, will make it carry the loads better!

Really easy to do on a 2WD. Thorbecke brothers have all the stuff you need to do it right.

I had thought about going that route also. I don't want to get the cost out of hand. which can be done rather quickly when messing with these ole trucks. Thanks for the info and ideas.

If you want to keep the cost down you can go with a set of air helper bags in the rear and just toss the overloads, that is what I am doing on my truck.
