72 3/4ton 2wd

I would like to level out the front of the truck with the rear. Any help would be great.

I'll assume that the rear sits higher than the front. With that in mind I think the easiest way is with a new set of leaf springs. There are a few companies that sell them over the internet, but the best bet is to find a local big rig truck shop, they should be able to fix ya up. You can add lower blocks, but I shy away from those as they tend to and more leverage against the rearend.

Do you have coils or leafs?

Agreed, a big truck shop can probably set you up with new leafs if that is what you are running, but if you have coils i think you'd have to get drop coils made for 1/2 tons. I'm not 100% on that...

I have coils but they are still stock because I like the slight rake, but I am sure someone on here will chime in with more info. good luck!

I have a 69 3/4 and have been told many times that 1 ton coils in front will give me a 2 inch lift, no "kits" exist for lifting the front end, just the 1 ton springs as far as I know.

are you running a SBC or BBC?

if you are running a SBC then adding 1 ton springs will level it out, but will have a harder ride.

A BBC due to its weight will be about 1 inch lower in the front.

If you have overload springs in the rear. you can remove it and drop the rear about 1/2 inch.
