I just put some 255/70/15 tires on ralley wheels which helped slightly. I might put beefier springs in and see what that does.

I would like to lift my 68 as well. Maybe 3 inches or so.

Yep stock with 31x10.5 tires. The way to roll 2wd

okay I know this is an old thread...but I'm also wanting to lift my 69 C10 with trailing arm rear suspension & dropped front suspension. my question is, can the front be raised back to stock height on dropped spindles and just get stock springs or would I need to purchase stock spindles & also the stock springs? I'm wanting to go stock height and bigger/beefier tires (more thread) after the 4x4 look since it's a 2wd truck.

Funny that the 69-72 trucks have a 2" body lift available but none of the kids mention 67-68.

A buddy of mine is running 35" on his 68 GMC. I don't know the details of the kit, but the front is a CPP spindle kit that includes upper and lower arms. The rear is deaver leaves, and fox shocks at all corners.

I have a 1969 c10 LSX 2wd that has a 4in lift on the rear, and 3in on the front it can clear 35s with moderate trimming. But I prefer to keep it on 33s The rear of the truck has a 4in lift leaf spring on it. And the front has a 3in lift spindle from a 2008 chevy. I daily drive the truck about 60 miles everyday and it sees its fair share of offroading and can hang with lots of the 4wd squares just gotta be willin to send it.
