if you put your stock rear springs up front minus the helper spring and find some late 80s S10 2-wheel drive spings minus the helper in the rear, that will give you a nice and flexy 3-4 inch lift. that can all be found cheaply in your local junk yard
rears up front is not as easy as just bolting springs on.... that said, any quality lift will need modifcations to the truck to be made
