Have a good start on a 6" lift for a 73-87 (91) Chevy or GMC "K" truck. Will work on a full size K5 Blazer, Jimmy, Suburban, K10, K20, or K30.
Lift is comprised of the following:
Front is stock length 6" lift BDS leaf springs. Bushings are in decent shape on these and they already have degree shims for caster correction. They are the newer looking black springs with the blue bushings in the pic. I am also including the flat plate style F250 shock towers that will bolt to the frame and allow for longer travel shocks. Shocks in the pictures are already gone so you will have to source your own.
Rear is stock height 56" long springs. Previous owner was running a 4" ORD shackle flip and taller leaf spring perches with these to match the front. If your truck currently has 52" springs in the rear and you already have ORD or DIY4X shackle flip brackets you can just swap them side to side (driver to passenger) and run the 56" springs. The 56" springs have one side that is the same length as the 52" springs to the center pin and one side that is 4" longer so you can either keep the axle in the stock location or flip the spring 180 degrees and get a 4" rearward wheelbase stretch. You can dial in the lift height in the rear to match the front using a combination of "zero rate" or "easy inch" and/or longer shackles. All of that can be purchased from ORD or DIY4X for pretty cheap. The truck these were on before had a ~1" taller leaf spring perch and stock length shackles. I will include the stock shackles but the bushings are pretty wore out so it would be worth replacing the shackles especially if you want to go to longer, heavier duty units for hardcore offroad. I also have a set of 2" traditional style lift blocks for the rear that I will throw in for free. These are leftover from a previous truck I parted out. The spring eye bushings themselves are pretty worn so I would suggest swapping them out for new polyurethane units which are more durable anyway. The rear springs come with longer u bolts and stock spring plates for a 14 bolt axle.
This stuff is all used but not heavily. The truck they came off of did more sitting than driving since it was just an offroad toy. A lot of this stuff just needs a good wire wheeling and fresh paint to look brand new.
I am happy to answer any questions. I know a LOT about these vehicles since I have a 77 K5 of my own that I have been building for the past 3 years.

They would be $63 + shipping brand new from ORD or DIY4X. What do you think is reasonable?
