Saggy 86 Crew

Hey all,

Couple quick questions. First I have an 86 crew cab that I think needs new springs all around. Front has about 1 inch of clearance between bump stop and axle. My old square had about 4, so I'm not sure what's supposed to be on the crew cabs, but I BET it's much more than 1 inch. The truck sits pretty level, a bit of rake from back to front, but not much. I believe all 4 spring stacks are junk. Could I get verification from someone on what the travel should be?

ALSO

I have researched for days and come up with limited options for new springs.

New springs, stock height for about (110 front and 150 rear) each, or a lift kit with either 2.5 or 4 inch lift in front and those stupid blocks in the back. Knowing I need all 4 springs, does anyone make a 4 corner spring package with minimal lift? My transmission and rear gearing is perfect right now and I don't want to put any huge tires on it. I'm ok with just slightly larger than stock.

Thanks all!
