Post Lift kit for a C10?

Does anyone know where i can get a lift kit for a 77' C10? I have heard that Rough Country, makes a 2 inch lift and Fabtech makes a 3 inch basic lift but does anyone know of any others? Also how much work is involved in installing a 3 inch body lift? Thanks in advance

I understand that a C10 is a 2wd truck if it was a 4wd truck i could go with rancho, pro-comp, skyjacker, superlift or any number of other companies. But, finding a company that makes a lift kit for a 2wd truck is difficult. That is why i was asking if anyone knew of anyother companies that make lifts for 2wd's. Nowhere in my post did i EVER state that a C10 was 4wd drive vehicle.

I don't want the feel of a 4wd just some extra ground/tire clearance. I don't really do any serious off roading. It is just when i go to some job sites i need larger tires and therefore a lift kit is the answer. I was thinking a 3 inch suspension lift and then a 3 inch body lift would be sufficient. Thanks everyone for all the info.
