im trying to lift my front end about three inches and was wondering if any shocks i can get from a junk yard will interchange to give it the lift?

 

shocks wont give you any lift, all that a shock does is stop the truck from bouncing for as long a time (the only lift you will get from shocks is if you are riding with them bottomed out)

 

sorry ive been workin on bikes for too long lol i meant springs struts whatever i can replace to give it some lift or how else can i lift the front up about 3-4 inches pretty cheap

 

Well if you're 4wd, you don't have springs or struts. And shocks won't lift you any. You have torsion bars. They can give you about 2 inches of lift. But it's all body lift, not suspension lift.

If you're 2wd... well I'm not as sure because I don't own one. Im guessing you would need springs and control arms. But then again, why lift a 2wd?

 

This is the link that I used when I did my "Torsion Bar Lift" and its been about four years now with no wear or problems. http://www.walt-n-ingrid.com/modific...Torsion%20Bars

 

its a 2wd and cause i can lol

 

i lifted my 2wd qc 2 inches is the front with horseshoes and 3 inches in the back with an add a leaf and rearch. and the reason i did it was that they just sit to low stock its not like 2 or 3 inches is ganna make it appear to be a mudtruck

 

horse-shoes? please clarify.

Do reg, club, quad cabs all use same springs? I would think quad would have heavier springs, fit them into a rc/cc to gain a half inch here or there? What about the coil-assist shocks? My friend got those fir his 89 chevy 1500, they boosted the front end 1.5" at the top of the fender.

i think he is referring to coil spring spacers.
