Question what's the best way to lift my burb?

I would like to lift my 71 1/2 ton GMC Suburban about 2 inches. What is the best way to do this?
I've heard of putting 3/4 coils under the burb. Anyone ever done this?

Thanks
Ronald

1 ton coils and a block in the rear, but you will not get a full 2 inches

3/4 ton springs won't do it. I had no change in mine. BB spring will get you about 1 1/2 to 2 but the ride gets stiff. You could try Rancho, they have a taller spring in 1/2 ton. 2 inches is the max you can get becuse your at the limit of the upper ball joint angle. I've heard that you can use ball joint spacers but I'm not sure how good they are.
