add a leaf kit for econoline

hey, i'm thinking about doing add a leafs at all four corners on my 66 super van to give some lift (especially the front). i want to run some genral grabber 27x8.5-14 off road tires on it and i'm thinking a little more lift will look cool. has anyone done it? it looks pretty straight forward but i thought i'd throw it out there before i buy any parts. any advice would appreciated, thanks

Im curious about this as well, im thinking it would be cool to add leafs in the back to give my van that cool lean to the front. Following this post..

Found this thread, should help is both.

That lean to the front look is called" a California Rake" and you can get it by re-arching your rear springs or using air shocks. Air shocks are the easiest and cheapest way.
