1986 2WD pickup

Gents, I currently have this pickup that I purchased from a family member. I'm tired of the lowrider look and looking to lift it... I told the shop to move the leaf springs to the top of the diff but now regretting it because it's too tall so it's not a big issue... the issue is that the front has the 3" ball joint spacer and torsions are all the way up. Shouldn't the front of the truck sit a little higher or am I seeing wrong. I will be going with 31/10.5/15. If the spacers don't so any justice I might have to look at the lift spindles.

You're going to need the lift spindles

If that truck were mine I'd go back to the stock set-up. Get rid of all that lift nonsense. Even at the rear, unless you often haul loads, the stock leaf springs are adequate.
