Bought my first truck, help

All 88-98 chevy/gmc 2500 2wd will have the same suspension, i dont believe there is a leveling kit, you woild have to get lift springs, spindles, or deal with the rake

Im following this thread, what about this? http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthr...5-C1500-Reborn&p=358533&viewfull=1#post358533
He mentions spacers?

I think spindles will be too expensive, not sure about lift springs. When you say lift springs you are talking about adding spacers to the current shocks or..? Kind of confused.

Lift springs are exactly that. Lift springs. They act like a spacer but they are spring.

The lift spring takes the current coil spring out and you put in a longer spring, the shocks have nothing to do with the height of the vehicle

I went on RC's website and they dont have any products for the C2500. I'm guessing the C1500 and C2500 have different setups. I initially thought it was just the tranny and engine that was different.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm looking to get this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/s...13.html?intcmpid=Product+Listings+Best+Seller
So it will be 3" higher but it will still have the front end be lower than the rear end. In order to raise that front end, what part exactly is compatible with my truck? I'm having a hell of a time trying to find "1994 c2500 lift springs" or "1994 c2500 spindles"... no results. They all show up for body lift kits.

The frame and suspension are different between 1500 and 2500

I think I found it! Can I use this to raise the fronts? http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kit...spx?t_c=1&t_s=358&t_pt=9333&t_pn=DAYKG09101BK

or this one is 1" http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kit..._s=358&t_pt=9333&t_pn=DAYKG09100BK#ReadReview

I'm hoping I can cause it goes right on top of the strut assembly. Can someone confirm? $40 for the 1" may do since I'm getting a 3" body lift kit anyway.

Yes that is what he was meaning, light duty 2500 is still 6 lug like the k1500

Exactly!

Also, these trucks don't have struts, just coil springs
