if your gonna lift at all go with atleast a 4".... a 2" does pretty much NOTHING 33s still rub with a 2" lift if you have the suspensien flex....
sure it can have 3/4 hauling abilty.... you could do a shackle flip.... that retains your stock springs....... blocks are fine on a mild lift and keep your stock springs.... and certain spring manufactures sell "heavy duty" lift springs (dont get soft rides there softer so they dont haul as much) ------------------ My Truck pictures www.xframeimpala.com 68 4x4 short fleetside 327 CH465 edelbrock intake and carb MSD distributor its the "SHAGROLET" 56 big window short stepside 235 dual 1 brls 64ImpalaSS 327 70 C10 LWB fleetside custom/10 350/TH350 IM me on aol SN= SHAGROLET

I am pleased with the 4" front springs I am using from Tuff Country. They do make HD springs I believe. Before you consider the shackle flip, verify that your rear springs are in good shape. I did the flip and then discovered I had a broken leaf. If I did it over again I would have gone with new rear springs.
