Is there anyway to lift a 1/2 ton - ?
Can the rear control arms be replaced with leafs w/out changing the frame.

Does any one make a front end lift system (Control arms - coils- pitman-etc..)

Or is the easiest way to find a 4x4 frame??

Okay, so your talking about 'only' lifting the 2wd or do you want to make it into a 4x4?

They make pre-runner kits if you want to lift the 2wd.

If your looking for a 4x4, it's easier to get a rolling chassis IMO.

The frames are different between the two(leaf and coil).

Here are some other threads about lifting a 2wd...There is also one about 67-72.. most are 73-87, the front is the same, the rear is different obviously..
