5" springs?

I know I could search... and I will. But, for the time being, what years for the 52s?

Home brew shackle flip in the rear sounds perfect.

typo then longer shackles to help with longer springs .

and 1/2 ton trucks blazers got 52" springs.

52s in front.
im still running stock driveshaft.
im assuming crossover is going on from your tons
make a shackle flip for rear. ( i just torched a slot out of the bottom of my stock setup and plated the top. Or get a pair of rear front hangars if you have parts)

there is your free 4 inches assuming you have a pair of 52s or 56s floating around.

I even wheeled for months with 52s with the stock shackle and it flexed pretty good

Cross over and 1 tons are going under. If the doubler doesn't sell VERY shortly... it will go on also.

Now you got me thinking...

I like free mods!

Whenever I need cheap parts I head to the junkyard.

Here is a link to a parts yard in your neck of the woods:

Maybe you can find a decent set of springs on the cheap from them

Had a buddy of mine take a set of rear 52's, cut the eyes off the main leaf. Than bolted them all to the main leaf of the stock front springs(no overload). Got about 4 inches of lift if I recall right.
