anyone have a 2 or 3 inch lift for a 80 pu let me know

[82fb]

i have a set of front lift springs.  I think they used to be 4 inch springs, but they are probably 3 now, and I took out the very bottom leaf, so maybe 2 unless you put the bottom leaf from your existing pack in there.  They have poly bushings and are gonna cost you $20 for the pair if you want them.

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

granted but its easy to make a new front crossmember for the hangers, even if you don't have the means to make one, you can find already made ones. a 110v mig of fluxcore welder can weld them to a yota frame and still provide enough penetration for it to be as strong as if you were to stick weld it. even if you don't use rears up front a desent lift would require either a new crossmeber or longer shackles

absolutely unnecessary,  and 2wd S10 springs wont swap right in without welding a new hanger in place, 
I assume he wants a bolt in application,  i used 2wd S10 springs in my old suspension, it rode and handled GREAT and with the way i had them mixed with the stock springs they bolted right up to the stock location and gave me 3-3 1/2 inches of lift.

front and rear keep your top two leaves as they are, then put the 2wd S10 or ford F150 2wd individual leaves under them

here's a pic of my truck on this setup
