2wd rear lift coils
i have been looking around for some coils for my work truck (1970 c10) and i want to raise the suspension an inch or two. i can find front lift coils but no rear coils? is there any company that makes those or any other way to raise the rear of this truck an inch or two. thanks

Re: 2wd rear lift coils
I would think you could use 3/4 ton coils.

Re: 2wd rear lift coils
couldn't you just raise the coilperches by welding a 2 inch piece of square tubing between the perch and the frame itself , you can still use the stock springs then

Re: 2wd rear lift coils
ram man 3/4 coils wont work because they are the same as a 1/2 w HD springs and HD springs or not the 1/2 tons are at the same height

Re: 2wd rear lift coils
I used the 34-2820 variable rate springs on the back from LMC, (before i found this board) they raised it up about 2 inches at the bumper.
