3" lift?

[wwj75c30]

so i know this is the 4x4 section but i was wondering if these 3" lift coils that they say will fit my 75 c30 will work?
will they work?

Have a link? I don't see any coils posted (though I am at work, stuff gets blocked on occasion) and I don't see specs/applications posted.

It has been awhile since I have looked but I don't recall seeing lift coils for a 1 ton. You may be better off with coil spacers.

there on airbagit.com id post a link but idk how lol

Though the photo they have is generic, the design of the coil springs is pretty generic it is the length and coil rate that will matter on the lift and they do not give too much info. However I would be inclined to believe they would work as they state 1963-1991 C20, C30, C35.

What are your plans for the rear? Lift springs, blocks, or Shackle flip?

Do you use the C30 to it's full 1 ton capability? (towing, hauling, etc?)

[wwj75c30]

yep those are it and i was gonna just keep the back stock. i figured itd level my truck out. it has a little bit of nose dive
and i use it to haul wood and some weight so yea i still will use it to haul and tow

Good looking truck.

When you are loaded down does the rear of the truck drop down a bit? If so that is why the truck is nose down, so that when loaded the back does not sit lower than the front. Front experience this will make the front end feel light and steering not seem as responsive.

I don't think the truck looks bad and personally would leave it as it is, especially if you use the truck for what it was meant for.

i wanted to level it out cause it doesnt tow that much but still gets used

The lift springs will most likely decrease your load capacity. I can't imagine they are 1t rated.

[Prerunner1982]

I think you would be better off with some 3/4" coil spacers. You will gain a couple inches of height and not lose the 1 ton capacity.

would i be better off doing a straight axle swap? cause till get off roaded but not very hard

[Prerunner1982]

If you don't off road it very hard I don't think the sold axle swap would be worth it.

But if you can do the work yourself and happen to have the parts laying around then go for it.

You will need leaf springs, spring mounts, shackles, crossover steering, transfer case, trans tail housing for 4wd, front and rear driveshafts, cut cab for shifter, and dually front axle.

so far i have a dana44 i got cheap it has the leaf springs and my sisters boyfriend said he can get me some dually hub adapters so i can keeep my duals. and i was gonan buy another turbo 400 with a np208 or 205 or maybe a SM465 4speed with a 205 behind it

Well there you go... sounds like you are mostly there, just the labor to get it all in.
