Raise a 66 GMC 2wd?
Do you suspension gurus have any knowledge if and how I can raise my 66 GMC truck. It is 2wd, and I don't wanna convert it to 4wd, just raise the ride height, or raise the body and frame from the wheels. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Raise a 66 GMC 2wd?
Big block springs will raise it some (~2" max).
For more than that, you could go the lift spindle route for 4" lift but it takes all the required 'swap' parts to use them (lift spindles for an 88-98 1/2 ton GM). They aren't cheap though....

Scoti, can you tell me exactly what I would have to buy with the lift spindles to make this happen.

88-98 brake hoses 88-98 wheel bearings 88-98 upper/lower BJ's 67-87 3/4 ton lower a-arms You might also need outer tie-rods too. I'd have to research (re-read) to be 100% sure on them. Some info & answers for you.... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=469743
