72 front springs?

I have a 1972 custom camper 3/4 ton pick-up and I would like to lift the front end with maybe a heavier front set of coils springs. I have seen some pics on this forum of 3/4 ton pickups sitting up just abit in the front. Looking to get the truck to sit level. any help? Thanks Rick

being a custom camper, you already have the HD springs.

Re: 72 front springs?

P30 springs will fit in there and they are more heavy duty than the C30 springs. It would probably ride pretty stiff though. I went through something simular on another project and discovered this. I have a brand new set of the P30 springs if interested, but like I said it would probably be a stiff ride. It may be that your springs are just sagging from age and a new set of HD springs will solve it for you.

thanks guys, I think the fact the truck had a huge fullsize camper on it might have worn out those old front springs.
