'69 C10 Back to stock height

[blf]

I'm looking for thoughts on options to take my truck back to stock height. It seems to have 2/4" drop springs in it now.

I've seen lots of options on rockauto for stock and heavy duty stock rears. I also see some vendors mentioned here who sell stock height springs.

Any suggestions? I am looking to use the truck to do some light towing (small boat) and occasional hauling but nothing heavy. Boat is ~2000lbs. I don't think I need the heavy duty rears.

Should I consider replacing shock absorbers at the same time, or do I need to due to the height change? They seem ok now.

Thanks all!

Back to stock, I'd suggest Moog springs. RockAuto should stock them, but check Amazon, too, as they have good prices sometimes (once bought a set for $40). Shocks might be ok--I'd check compressed/extended lengths against Monroe's database, just to be sure they're not too short. Lots of people seem to be happy with KYBs, which are also CarQuest house brand. I like Bilsteins, but they're expensive (and worth it, IMO).

Thanks -- I ended up ordering ACDelco springs, which I hear are moog anyway. I haven't gotten started on installing them just yet.
