Wanted 52" springs 6" lift

[firemedicsafd]

i need a set of 52" springs with a 6" lift. My K5 is lifted 6" and i want to do the spring upgrade thing. Let me know what you have. thank you!

What spring upgrade do you mean?

 

[Justin V]

I think he probably has blocks and a Add-a-leaf

 

[firemedicsafd]

no. i have 49" up front and want to upgrade to the 52" from the rear of the K5 . But i need 6" of lift because that is its current height.

 

[Justin V]

So you have a K5 that has 6 inches of lift currently and you want to replace the front lift springs with 52's but maintain the current lift height?

 

[firemedicsafd]

YES!

 

[Justin V]

So, a stock 52 is roughly 4" of lift when used in the front, you should be looking for a 2" lift 52 in order to get 6" lift up front.

Then you want 2"-2.5" lift 52" long springs to achieve approx 6" of lift. This is a very slippery slope that domino's in to lots of other modifications.

Edit: why swap to 52's?

i was told the 52" springs are a better ride. I am already modifying it a lot. I have a dana 60 already in there. I bought a DIY4X ABomb and I'm about to get the rear hanger kit. Since I'm there i figured id get longer springs to help with ride quality. It feels like i have nothing right now other than bolts directly to the frame.

 

[firemedicsafd]

but good info there on how much lift. thank you!

Be ready for crossover steering, longer shocks, possible longer driveshaft and brake hose mods. Also, no sway bar.

 

[firemedicsafd]

already have crossover, new driveshaft is ready for when GenIII swap happens, sway bar left when the crossover happened.
