2.5" Rancho front springs, fits '73-'91 rigs, with homemade 1" zero-rates, 4" rear blocks, front u-bolts, your choice of rear u-bolts to fit 1/2 or 3/4 ton axle, raised steering arm, and brand spanking new spring bushings installed.

These bushings will require 9/16" bolts instead of the factory 7/16". All you need to do is drill your shackle holes out or fab your own.

$200 for everything shown in pics. Shipping on your dime. Everything will ship in 3 separate packages. 2 will be the springs and 1 will have all the rest of the parts.

Oh yeah, the rear u-bolts and blocks are also brand new, too. Again, your choice of 1/2 or 3/4 ton size u-bolts.
 
Dammit! Forgot to mention the shocks.

Rancho RS9000 series adjustable shocks, no boots. Can be mounted upside down, too. All 4 still in good working condition.

1 steering stabilizer, unknown brand, hardware included, too.

Dallas is like 7 or 8 hours from me.
 
I can do you better: I've got some friends I know of living in Ft. Smith and knowing they should be back for Thanksgiving, I can ask if they'd take the stuff back and you could pick them up in Ft. Smith?
 
wow..fort smith is almost a 4hr drive 1 way..i think it maybe more effecient to just ship it, depending upon what it actually cost to ship them. or i also have a friend who lives in the fort smith area & he works on offshore rig in the gulf. he may could get them & bring them down when he comes thru or i could make the drive up & stay that night & party w/him then come back the next day. let me see what his work schedule is.

how do you ship stuff like this? Giant box or something?

Pack all the smaller stuff into one box. Wrap and tape up cardboard around the bushing ends so they don't fall out and/or get damaged. UPS will ship leaf springs as bare metal as all they need to do is stick the label on each spring and cover it up with tape all around so it won't peel off.

3 packages, in other words.

If nothing else works, I could still have the friends take it back to Ft. Smith with them after TG and ship it to you from there. It would be that much less for you to pay in shipping fees if they did.
 
Oh yeah, what does everyone need for the rear u-bolts? 1/2 or 3/4 ton?

Does this cause the truck to have a slight rake to it? Trevor

Not sure what you're trying to say here.

The springs are originally 2.5" Rancho's. I installed a 1" zero-rate to get it up to 3.5" and therefore the use of a 4" rear block, when used on a Blazer, will allow the stance to be a little more evened out rather than sitting sky high in the front.

If you've noticed on K5's sitting on, say 4" front and rear lifts, the rear can still be a little too low because of sagging springs.

If you bought this lift from me and installed it to find the rear springs on your rig are too saggy, you can simply remove the 4" rear blocks and put in something else a little shorter, like 3", and see where the stance is.

Or....

If you'd prefer a 2.5" lift, I can remove the zero-rate and 4" rear blocks and replace those blocks for 2.5" rears instead. Then you'd have a 2.5" front and rear to make it all even.

How do they ride? Are they stiff?

I've never driven on 2.5" Rancho's. Plenty of 4" Rancho's I have, both the stiff and soft springs.

I do remember well the stiffer Rancho's made my ex's boobs bounce considerably at lower speeds in town.
The softer Rancho's weren't too bad nor on another friends K20 as I thought his was the softest riding K-truck I've ever been in.

These 2.5's I have are supposedly the softer type like the 4"ers.

I'm not making any guarantee these springs are gonna ride like Alcans or whatever. The shocks that are included should be tailored to your specs on the ride. They're the 5-way adjustables, so play around with that.
