C30 springs on an R20 suburban?

The rear of my 87 suburban sags a little. Would installing a set of one ton rear leafs on my 87 suburban fit, and give it a little rake in the back?

I think the spring width's might be different on one ton stuff but not sure. Have you measured how much sag you have? An add-a-leaf kit might be the ticket.

C-30 springs would bolt in. But you would end up with probably 2 or more inches of lift plus an extremely harsh ride. I just finished adding one middle leaf on each side of my r1500 Suburban, and that netted me 2 inches plus it is much more firm.
