2WD lift kit for c20

Whats up everyone, Ive got a 1971 c20 that I want to give a little more beefy look. Ive done the 1 ton springs and spacers but it still doesn't have the right look to me. There is a guy on YouTube, harmon garage that used lift spindles for an 89-99 chevy and swapped the brakes over, tie rod ends, and ball joints. Has anyone done this on a C20. I know they make a kit for the 2500. Id like to keep my 8 lugs? Thank you!

Re: 2WD lift kit for c20

I did a 1" body lift on my truck for necessary drivetrain clearance. Purchased aluminum body mount spacers for the cab and core support and made my own for the bed.

This isn't a spring lift obviously but gives you some clearance and isn't noticeable from the outside.

The member truckenrc used 2008 lift spindles - he's not active but you can do a member search

This Instagram link is more involved - lift and wider control arms from airbagit.com
Also has Hanneman fiberglass fenders
