kinda dumb ? but are the front and rear lift springs gonna be different for a k5 blazer? The lift i believe is a 6", the reason im asking is the front springs may be ruined bc its off of a wrecked truck.
 
yes, they are different lengths. Fronts are around 47" or so... rears are 52" on K5s.

the arch and length are all different

1st gen 47's for front
2nd gen 49 for fronts

rears are 52's on k5's and 52 or 56 on subs and 3/4 ton trucks (or like my 68 1/2 ton burb had a 2 leaf 56" 3" wide rear springs.

by placing a rear spring up front you gain about 4" more lift... IE a stock rear will net 4" up front and a 4" rear would produce a 8" front lift.
 
sooo, since i my rear springs have aals. If i put them up front i would get a 6" lift? Since they gave me 2 inches....right?

yes, but you'll have to move your spring hangers to make them fit.
