Suspension question on a 1982 Chevy truck?

I have a 82 chevy with 255/70 tires on the front and back. I want the front to be 32 from the wheel arch to the ground for the front, and 33 inches for the back. The other day, I measured my truck. My driver side front end is 32 and 3/4 inches and the passanger side is 32
inches. How can I fix this?
I wondered if I just bought new springs since the springs are 27 years old. They are worn out, and if I put a 1" drop coil springs would it be 32 inches since I have larger tires on it or not?
 
You need to measure the back too. Rear leafs sag more often than front coils, and when one rear corner goes down the front end is also unlevel.
 
is the truck two wheel or four wheel drive. I build alot of 72-89 chevys and the older ones have bad springs in front and in two wheel trucks the springs get weak and lean to one side. cheek with tuff country.com for great deals
