Anyway to do this on the front specifically?
May sound kinda stupid but I'm curious.

Lifting a 2wd?

Do you mean "installing a lift"? If so, don't forget the required stickers for your back window.....No Fear; Calvin pissing on a Ford; got sand?; No, this is not my boyfriend's truck, etc......

Man, I didn't even think of that lol.Use a jack, or ramps, or a vehicle hoist.

All kidding aside, it would just be raised control arms and those donut things for the springs, or new, taller springs. Essentially the opposite of lowering a car, which are dropped control arms and shorter springs.

Does anyone make raised control arms for our trucks?
The idea may sound kinda gay but I'm looking at a pretty decent C20 for a good price and I have x5 brand new 37's mounted on 16.5 stock Chevy steelies.

That would be hard to find, especially for the 3/4 ton. And with the lift you need, which is probably 8". Another option would be a raised spindle, but again, hard to find. There are a lot of parts available for lifting 88+ IFS stuff, so I don't know if you could modify any of that stuff. But that's way over my head. You can get a couple of inches with lift coils, may need ball joint spacers. But you need a lot more than that. Time for a 4WD conversion!

Body lift it and some trimming.
Most all of the 2wd lift stuff I have seen is for the half ton trucks.
I had a 1977 C30 dually once that I installed all new springs, new body mounts, 1" lift block in rear, and a 1" stack of washers for a body lift. That got it high enough to install a set of 33" tires with lots of clearance.
