Is it Possible to Lift a 2wd 3/4 TON ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72MARIO · 03-28-2004, 10:06 PM

Oky I love the look of as slammed truck and I am building a 67 Shorty to fill that need, but I own a Roofing company and I need a work truck that can haul shingles and junk. I was able to get a 84 2WD 3/4 Ton cheep . So If I have to drive somthing I would like it to look and sound tough. So how would I go about lifting the front ? The back is easy I have that figured out already. Any Ideas ? The front sits really low it need to get out of the weeds.

Thanks guy's

first off the coils are probably sagging, you could get a set of lift coils and/or install some coil spring spacers. Due to the geometery of the front suspension, a 3/4 inch spacer will give you close to 3" of lift. what size tire are you wanting to run? i run a 32" on stock 1/2 ton.

here is a recent thread with all relavant information. if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I was thinking of a 31 or 32 tire. Not too sure yet. I have to see how High I can get it.

you wont have any clearance issues with 31 or 32" tires at stock height. they fill the fenderwells quite well.
