Default How to lift the front end on a 1996 K2500 Suburban

I recently purchased a 1996 K2500 Suburban, 454 with a whipple suprecharger. It has 3' lift blocks on the rear and on the front they have just cranked the torsion rods up as high as they can go. Is there a semi cheap way to lift the fornt on this thing appx 3"? I don't particlarly like the current set up.

Im afraid not my friend the stock parts wont go that high and still ride right.you might be able to grind down the drop stops for the upper arms and get it that high but the cv's will probly pull apart or bind and forget the alingment
