combination??
I want to lift my '88. i was thinking i could put 4" blocks in the back, and i want to find a way to get 4" up front.

If i bought a pair of 4" coils for the front, what would i need to get the front end back to alignment? Would it be easiest to buy the drop brackets?

any suggestions

Unless you want to do a solid axle swap, you are not lifting it 4" without using drop brackets.
