Barely enough to go. Could honestly care less if i ride a bunch this year anyways
Got the hangers on, turns out the kit only comes with 2/3 the spring bushings.
Looks like I'll be doing some clearancing on the front crossmember

Got a front spring in to check clearance, looks like I'll have to notch that crossmember. Which really isn't a surprise 
I take it everyone with that kit has the same problem or they are they running way different front springs that it doesn't interfere!?
What did Riley do on his?
I think he has alcans but don't remember for sure.
Not that it would make much difference even 4" lift whatever springs are fairly flat and would hit that.

Looks like it's spring dependant, 4" spring sounds like it may/may not clear. Also appears some guys running stock 52s have to notch it a bit too.
Don't think there's many people running a stock 47" leaf pack.
Will see how it sits at ride height and go from there I guess
I'm debating going stock 47's when I do my 91 so I'll be curious to see how it goes for you
I did stock 47" to keep mine as low as possible. But mine being a 2wd frame, I didn't have to fight that x-member. I still had clearance issues elsewhere though.
Another thought, what axle are you going to run? That factors into the spacing of the spring. My front brackets are pushed outward more than yours, which would make more clearance.
Chebby Dana 60
Ah, that's probably it.
Yessir. Would be a couple inches more clearance a side with a ferd axle.
Using my Chebby 60 cause I've been inside of it hub to hub. Otherwise I'd have gotten a ford diff most likely.
Makes sense. It's also nice to say yours will still be mostly GM.
Haha, mine is a hybrid-hybrid. No one uses the ball joint Ferd.
Well hacked up the crossmember.....decided im gonna huck it in the bush. I'm gonna tie in the 2 mounts that the diff bolted too.
Slapped the springs in, diff in to check some clearances. It will sit slightly lower than pictured by a couple inches or so.

For those unfamiliar with what the diff mounts look like.
Good idea on the tie in.
Were you wanting it taller?
