Cummins swap front springs

[dstang97]

Thinking of a B-52 for a cummins swap. I figure they should be able to hold up with out sagging. If not what spring company should I go with? looking for around 4" with 35"s


Thanks

thay did do up to 6 leaf 52" rear springs. http://stengelbros.3dcartstores.com/22-485_p_2452.html

and or mabye just go 56" and then remove as needed from a 9 leaf pack.

but if on the street use then 52-56" swap will be a bit of a soft ride aspr others coments i have read.

I'm also interrested in this, as I've been thinking of putting 52" springs under the front of my dodge...
My current lift springs are stiff as hell

I'm pretty sure there's a stock 52" spring with 7 leafs plus overload.
I think that's what I'd go for, and remove leafs if it's too stiff.

I thought there would have been more posts. Bump

Go to Alcan springs. Give them a call or e-mail, tell them what you have and what you want. They will build the springs you need. Kid Jethro has alot more info on this.

If you call up Alcan or Deaver, give 'em your specs, and they'll build you a custom spring pack. It will be expensive, unfortunately.

I don't have person experience using 52's under a Cummins - you may want to contact CrewCab59 on here - Cummins conversions are his shop's reason for being.

For background:

I have a K5/buggy deal with 52's in the front, can't wait to get rid of them.

I have an '84 K30 with a 5.9L Cummins in it as my tow rig.


What rig do you have? What do you use it for? How much lift are you looking for?

Had my front springs made at Atlas for my cummins swap. Cost 700 or so out the door I think.
