Help on lifting my 78

I have been told that it is not possible, but, I would like to raise the front of my truck up about two inches. I have a 1978 F-250 Supercab Camper Special 4x2. The front springs are coil and the only idea I have is to have a pair od custom springs made.

The main reason I want it listed is to even the truck out, the back end sticks up quite high, and looks funny to me.

The other reason is that the tires that I have are rubbing slightly on the fenders.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanx all,
Nicholas R. Tibbets

If it is IBeam suspension you have to have your I beams bent or have new ones made. You could also drop your Ibeam pivot points and just get lifted coil springs.
