2wd lift

I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice. I have a 1979 Chevy C-10/Big Ten with a 350sb. I want install a set of 31x10.50 and make my truck to have a K-10 look, or a "pre runner" look.

I have been told that installing C-30 coils or big block coils will raise the front end. Also, there is a company called coilsprings.com that will fabricate special coils to any specification.

I would like to achieve a 1 to 1.5 inch lift up front, does anyone have experience or a knowledgeable opinion on this matter.

I'll post pictures soon. Thanks
