another 56" spring question

[greywolf]

what springs are you are guys running? I have a diy4x4 4" shackle flip looking for ball park 6" lift would like to stay close.
pic whores are welcome I'm looking for honest reviews, happy, mad, I wouldn't buy those again. I got the ord spring pack for the front. I talked to Kert so I know the basics.
thanks guys

havent driven mine yet but i have installed 56" suburban springs into the rear with kert's shackle flip. They didnt give me much lift, maybe an inch. The front of my k5 has 7" and the rear is pretty even and i have shackle flip and 2 inch blocks so im estimating an inch or so.

I would say it depends on if you get used springs or not. As for the ride, im not sure yet but in a few weeks i should! They are wicked flexy compared to the 52s i took out.

So take from that what you will...im sure someone that has driven with them will chime in.

If you are going with a total of 6", a 4" flip and 2" lift spring 56 would be ideal. Nice new leaf pack with some smarter flex/road manners.


Myself..... 7 leaf Sub spring pack with flipped overload, 1" zerorate, 4" flip, and 6" shackle. Thing sits damn near level with my TC HD 4" fronts with zero rate. Rides good but kinda sloppy. Would need slower valved shocks but don't want to sacrifice smooth off road. I plan to add another main leaf to see if I can get a stiffer (without loosing flex) "on road" ride. Either that, or have Atlas (local to me) build me a set.
