If you want a budget lift, fit yor original rear springs in the front and get lra to match a new pair for the rear, no more than $200.

i was of the opinion that you put your rears to font and then put disco rears in the back and it will give 2" lift but could be bit on soft side for heavy rod use.

On a budget or not. If you want a 2 inch lift on the soft side and you want plenty of flex put your standard rears up front and get new rears for $150 for the pair. Procomp shocks for $125 each.

You can get lots of different variations.
