I am looking into a lager lift for my 4 door long bed chevy. I have the standard 6 inch lift for a one ton i just can't find a place that makes one larger. In the rear i'm planning on a shackle flip but what can i do in the front to raise it. I would like all spring lift but for the spring size its hard to find. Can i get the spirngs custom made for a fair price. I have a winch and bumper on front and planning a cummings turbo diesel so i'll need a little heavier rates. Thanks

Larger lift for 1 ton
- Thread starter 53chevy
- Start date
lifts for 1/2 and 3/4 tons will be the same for 1 tons. the only difference will be the rear springs cause 1 tons and some 3/4 tons have 56" springs and 1/2 and some 3/4 tons have 52" rear springs. most of the time companies will want you to specify the rear spring length. as far as fronts go, they are all the same and the large lift springs will most always have high spring rates so you should have no problem with your heavy front end and if it doesnt sit level you can always add a zero rate in the front.
bds makes 8" springs, tuff country makes 8", superlift makes 8,10,12" skyjacker makes 8"
thats the order i would buy them in

With respect to off the shelf lift kits, the front springs are all the same.

No one sells 15" packs in the aftermarket world off the shelf except for the custom spring manufacturers such as Deaver, National, etc.
I have some 12" Superlift front springs and 8" rears which will fit your 1 ton with modification to the rear spring hangers. Shoot me a PM and we can talk.

get yourself some 12" front springs w/ 5" drop hangers and a 3" BL. That should get you crawling the mall quite well, 20" worth that is. For the rear you'd need a 4" Shackle flip, the 3" BL, and then finish it off with either 13" custom springs or 10" Springs and a 3" Block.

there is no way that truck has 20" lift. When I had my show truck I had 15" total lift(springs/hangers) and I had plenty of room for 44" boggers and 46s would fit with a lil rubbing and if I would have put my 3" BL back in I could have got 49s.

So how much lift would be required for the new 54" Boggers? These new tires bring up other issues as well. Like would a 60/14 axle combo even hold up to them in real wheeling conditions? AKA not mall crawling! I can remember a time when I thought 44" TSL's were huge. Does anyone else remember those days?

60/14B combo could. 40spline axles up front in the 60 or run longfields in the front with a detroit, deadenber inner cs and knuckles. the rear would probably be fine just replace with some chromo shafts.

customsuspension.com makes pretty much anysize spring you would need. i think they go to like 24". but they are about $400 a piece, but something tells me if your bout to buy some brand new 54" boggers thats not to steep. theres a suburban on cardomain that has about 15" plus a 3" body lift. and i think you might need to go a wee bit bigger than that to fit 54's. unless you do alot of trimming. I was going to buy some springs from them but ive decided after being on ck5 for so long and never really owning a 4x4 that i would start into stages. also do you have cross over steering. you might want to look into that. scratch that they make 30" lifts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here are some pics of extreme offroad cool trucks they make 30" lifts
Do you think it woul be ok to go from the 56inch rears to 52 inch rears. Seems like that would b eaiser to get a lift, but i want to wheel my truck still. Thanks for all the info and pics keep it comming.
