89 Toyota SR5 Lift problems.

Hey their guys its been awhile since i have posted or checked the forums. I recently got back into driving my truck alot and im wondering how id go about doing a good suspension lift. I have researched everywhere and cant find anything. I know i can do a 3 inch lift in the rear with lowering blocks on the axle and leaf springs but the front is quite difficult. On an 89 their isnt any coils to space out on the front. Its got the factory arms and a shock. Im just wondering if theirs an easy way to get a 3 inch lift in the front that way it will set level. I know i can do a body lift but thats alot of work for one person. Can anyone help me im open to all suggestions.

A block lift is not a good suspension lift. It will only increase your ground clearance and make it look good, but will not improve your ride. Leaf spring lift is the most proper way, Zuk is the next proper way.
If you search enough you would see that people have happily gone from block to leaf or zuk lift but never the other way around.
