actually you'll get a better ride by putting a 3 or 4" lift on it then the stock springs. the stock springs only have 3" of up travel. they make the lift's ride soft now not like back in the 80's they were all stiffer then stock. find a lift that has 3 leaves in the spring pack up front. the stock ones and the real old lifts have 4 leaves
my 81 4x4 i have rides smoother then a ifs truck with the 3" lift the 33 inch tires make it handle good or better then a stock one. plus it looks cool.
