Looking for a simple lift

Ok ive been looking around on here for a LONG time. I am looking for a simple bolt on lift, if there is such a thing. I'm not really looking to cut off and reweld anything. i'm just looking for a 3 inch suspension lift for the front and maybe 4 or 5 in the rear, nothing too crazy. i could even settle for 2/4.

my main concern is all 4 of my springs are negativly arced and the truck drives like a son-of-a-youknowwhat over any bumps, i swear i can drive over a penny and tell you what side it is facing.

so again, i'm looking for a simple bolt on suspension. drop axles, put in new springs and shocks, hook up axles and brake lines, down the road. is it that easy? i sure hope so

thanks for any advice

BTW, this is for my 85 as mentioned in my signature

as much as I don't like them, check out NWOR, they sell what you want. You could alse have springs custom made at stock lenght, a little more $$, but what you want.

Smile OME's

I'm running OME springs on my '84 with 33 X 12.5 BFG-AT KO's. No shackles. No rubbing.
Springs ain't exactly cheap, though.
