how can i lift the front of my truck to even it out? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 71 3/4 ton gmc 2wd and i have the overload springs in the back. The front of the truck sits a few inches lower than the back. I would like to lift the front to even it out with the back and get rid of the rake. Also, i would like to put 33 inch tires on the truck, they fit in the back with no problem, but when i tried to put them on the front, the wheels wouldnt turn all the way because they hit the wheel well. Im hoping there is a way to lift the front two inches or so without having to change the whole suspension, thanks for the help.

you can call up a suspension shop and see if they got any rubber spacers for the springs. the ones I've seen only raise about 1 inch most.

does anyone know how many inches it would need to be raised in order to put 33 12.50's onto the truck and not have any problems with the tires hitting when i turn? Would the one inch spacers do the trick?
