the easiest way to do it is to find a shop with a lift makes it soo much easier but not alot of eople have that convience so the way to do it with the old jack is to use the factory jack (it is short) use that to jack it up enough then u can use a bigger jack after u get it up enough or u can try jacking it up oneside at a time depending on how low ur truck is

Actually dude, it depends on how the truck was lowered. You can't just say "new springs" because you still have to worry about the rearend. However, in most cases that's what takes care of the front. Check under the rear and see if you have the correct amount of leaf springs. If not, put 'em in. Also, depending on how much the read was lowered, it could be blocks, a flip kit, or shackles and hangers. If it's shackles and hangers, you should be able to put the stock ones back in. If it's blocks, easy, stock ones, and if it's a flip kit, well, that may cost ya a little.

If you want a jacked up truck dont by a lowrider.Or you can do what I did on my 85 s-15 to have the best of both worlds and BAG it.On s-10s S-15s its a dream.In the front I removed the spring
grinded out the base of the upper control arm for a little more room for the bag to move.In the back take of the box of the truck 6 bolts. Buy or build a c notch over the rear end with mounting brackets for the bags conected to them or ask a shop about a 4 link those are alot of fun.Flip the springs so when the bag is released they have down force.Then youll be laghing.peace out
