1990 2wd Pickup replacement suspension

Have spent so much time scouring the forums and google with no luck.

My suspension is old, tired and sagging and it’s tjme to replace.

—- 2 options —- unsure yet which route to go
stock height
small lift 1.5” - 3”

Having trouble finding good quality parts for either option but would like
-Leaf springs/bump stops/rear shocks/rear shackles
(all are rusted and tired)
-Front springs/shocks/ upper & lower control arms w/ball joints


What have you found the has a good ride quality(90% street use) and is direct fit. There doesn’t seem to be much offered for our trucks. Any info helps, at this point i am stuck. Thank you

Hey @MasterOfNone , I'm in the same boat as you were with my RWD 1995 Pickup. Only difference is I live on a dirt road that is regularly deep mud and rutted and potholed. I'm looking to refresh the suspension plus a small 1.5-3" lift. Doesn't look like you got much guidance here. What did you end up doing?

If you go to advanced search and search titles only “2wd lift” you will get a lot of results.

I ended up staying stock hight but sometime wish I had gone higher. Just replaced the shocks is all I have done as far as suspension goes. Oh and the shackles and bushing were shot so got them too.
