Best way to raise a 2wd

[Elpresidente]

I'm looking to bring my 82 C10 up just a bit more, as its sitting at stock height now on 30-year old suspension.
Im doing suspension in a few months, so Im wondering if I should just go with brand new coils/leafs and that would bring the ride height up a bit, or should I go with a leveling kit?
If so, what does a leveling kit even consist of?

     Do you think your suspension is drooping that much, have you measured to see where it is sitting ?  Unless it has dropped, new suspension will not raise it.
     A leveling kit usually consist of lowering the rear end to match the front end, this does not sound like what you are looking for.  If it is a standard C10, your rear end should be higher than your front end, so sounds like you want to raise your front end to match your rear end.

Now that you say it like that, yes. I dont think the rear springs have sagged that much so maybe just new front coils will help a bit

Bigger/ taller springs and taller shocks?

     Make sure you do your research and reading before you go and slap in taller coils.  I am not a 2wd person by any means ( I have only owned 1 lower truck back in high school, a very long time ago), but I would think that just putting taller coils in the front would make the front end suspension tighter and therefor a harder ride unless you do it the right way to make sure it is a soft or factory ride. 
     Just my thoughts.

Yeah. since I can't find a good 4x4 here I figured i'd make due and find the best way to add some height to this truck.

You can put 1 Ton springs in there, there is a post on this somewhere.

You have a few options to lift the front end. Spring spacers. Bigger springs. Or lift spindles, ball joints, tie rods, rotors, calipers, so on from an 88-98 chevy. If you are looking for a cheap way to get a little bit in the front, you can install spring spacers, the next step up would be installing springs from a 1 ton, as they are sturdier from the extra hauling suspension, they will lift the front end a good inch or two. And then the the 88-98 spindles and parts. Fabtech(I believe) made 73-87 lift spindles for a little while, but they are hard to come by. If you put bigger springs in, you might encounter an issue with the upper control arm bottoming out against the coil bucket. to get a little more clearance between the 2, you can bolt the ball joint on the UNDER side of the upper control arm, and you can also add a spacer between the 2. I've done quite a bit of research on how to lift my 2wd. I'm going to put some 1 in spacers in and move the upper ball joints under the control arms to get a little more clearance for the 33's. I'm in the parts collecting process of converting my truck to a 4wd.
