best riding 2' lift for 77 K-10

[roundhouse]

building a 77 K10  mostly gonna be street driving

it has stock springs and thoroughly worn out bushings,
rides rough and drives terrible,

Ive seen prices all over the map,
from $350 rough country
http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-suspension-lift-kit-135-20.html

 to

$650 for what appears to be the same  items from Tuff country

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfy-12710kh?seid=srese1&gclid=CKifuqvtlsACFQxp7AodBk4AlQ

to $70 each from this place

im confused and also, from looking atit cant figure out how you remove the shackle/frame bushing in the front spring.

dont see any way to push the old one out since the bracket  inside of the frame is only large enough for the bolt to pass thru and is rivited to the frame.

we may do a 4'' lift, 
just want to run 33's so 2 inch should be enough,

     Since your heading said "best riding 2" lift", I would say neither tuff or ruff country is going to work.
     Yes they are cheaper, but ride stiff as a board.  If you want a soft riding lift you should look at skyjacker or super lift.  More expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I've  read tuff country EZ  and super lift were the least stiff.

The one from  BDS is probably the best. But a lot more $$

You have to make sure your comparing the same productss, not just price.
The cheap springs at $70 each are just springs. That's $140 a pair without U bolts or shocks.  In the picture (assuming its not just a file photo) the 3 leaf springs only have the metal spring wrap band at 1 end, the other springs you listed have the band at both ends.
The other 2 options that you listed cost more because they are complete lift kits.
The Rough Country kit shows 5 leafs in the spring pack. Might be better suited for a truck with a plow or a big heavy winch bumper on it.
The Tuff Country Kit from Summit Racing includes the EZ ride springs. Might be the best riding ones out of the 3 that you listed.
Also keep in mind the shipping cost. Summit offers free shipping.  I ordered my Tuff Country 2" HD front springs from Off Road Design because I was also ordering the heavy duty greaseable front shackle kit and stud kit for my Dana 60 from them.  Shipping came to $140 for the 2 springs and a tiny little box of shackles/studs, so that's something to keep in mind.
As far as my Tuff Country 2"HD front springs, I'm very happy with them. but my truck is a M1028 5/4 ton truck with a 6.2 diesel.

     You will be very happy with the super lift as far as comfort goes, it is a nice lift.

none of those links work, roundhouse

Huh.    I just copied and pasted

Oh well

May not need it anyway.   We mounted 33 12.50s on factory rally wheels and they seem to clear ok


Pretty sure it has 3.73 gears.  So I don't think 35s will work to well without going to lower gears

Still rides like a dump truck though

[FlatBlack77]

i have the same wheel and tire setup with no lift and no clearance problems in the front(flatbed in the back so no issues at all)

[roundhouse]

I dont see any reason to lift it even for 35s,

the 33s clear easily, no rubbing at all,

so a little trimming and 35s would fit.

Im not sure the 3.50  axle gears would like 35s though.

[BattleBornK30]

I have a Superlift kit from the PO on my 78 K30 RCLB. Rides amazing. I believe it's a 4".

[roundhouse]

Worn out 33s fit fine with original saggy springs

May try to stuff 35s under there with a little trimming

[roundhouse]

Looks a lot better than with 31s
