2wd lift??
I'm interested in the same thing. I understand the big parts chains sell spacers to fit under the front coil springs. Has anyone used these? How do they affect ride and alignment? Sorry to answer with a question.

the best way is to buy pre-runner I beams, these keep your wheels lined up, otherwise you wheels will be pointed in at the bottom so much, you won't be albe to drive it.. if you've never changed the springs, then a new set of heavy duty coil's will help keep her nose up, and you can put spacers in the rear, or a set of air bag helpers, then you can adjust for load, ride, and looks

I agree with theonlybull, i used heavier duty front coil springs on my 77 1/2 ton 2wd, and it lifted the front about 4" over the old worn out springs. You will need to get it realligned.

i put the springs for a 79 f-100 and they listed regular and heavy duty( i don't know the difference other then $20) this really lifted the truck compaired to the old sagged springs.
the alignment will only fix your toe-in, not any other problems, unless you find an old timer who has the equipment and knowlage on how to bend the radius arms.
for the pre runner beams, i've seen them, but can't remember who makes them

I've seen the HD coil springs. Do you know if they make a HD rear leaf spring?
