77' c10, coil spring spacers?

hey ya'll new guy here, i just got this c10 77' and its 2wd. i am having a hard time find a coil spring spacer, or a bigger coil for the front. i want it to sit level. probly end up lower rear (real easy) but i'd MUCH RATHER lift front 1.5-2". i saw in my lmc catalog they had a heavy duty coil for a truck w/ 454? since i got a 350 maybe that would raise it a bit? seems to me coil springs can't be in that many different sizes (diameter) ? thoughts? thnx

Re: 77' c10, coil spring spacers?

I'm working on an 80 C-10 and the customer is worried about the ride. I couldn’t find any plain polyurethane spacers that go under or over the coil so I took a spacer that you wind into the spring and cut it in half to get two ½ inch spacers that will just go under the spring when I put the new coils in. I'll probably put them in Monday and ill post the height difference.

I put them on my 87 and it leveled it. Actually almost gives it a 4x4 stance.

If you'll go to O'Reillys site and put your vehicle year/make/model in and then search Coil Springs, you'll see those are listed as the "Heavy Duty" ones.
