2-3" K30 Crew lift w/o loosing load rating?

[Kapdin]

Is there any 2-3" all suspension lifts that will keep me around my load range? She's got 9 leaf's now and don't want to drop below 10k GCVW.

I would personally would just run blocks in the rear, keeping the stock springs. I'm sure others will recommend a shackle flip, but the tension style shackles are stronger than compression style, which is why all full size trucks are built that way to begin with. There 'could' be an issue with spring wrap when using blocks, but a long traction bar will take care of that.

Most front lift springs are fairly stiff, so nothing lost there as far as load rating.

well i don't have anything against blocks well at least a 2-3" block but my crew has had a lot of weight on its back for a long time and think the springs could be retired.

As for the front i want the lift without a shackle flip, and i deff. don't want it like the 79 (self made add a leaf from the rear pack) its stiff as a fuggin cement truck. Im going to be driving the crew alot and want it comfy. Its going to get a big block but no cummins so it will have a bit more weight.

New 56's are high dollar. If they aren't letting the truck sag with little load in it, they should be fine. Up front, the extra weight of a big block will help mild lift springs ride nice. My '79 has Superlift's up front, it rides great.
