leaf springs

[79bonanza]

ok so i have already installled 52'' front springs, what would be a good set for the rear to get it as flexy as the front

oops prolly should have searched it first, im thinking that ill use 56'' spring but dont people run with 63'' springs and if so what do they come on so i can get a pair

56s can be put in using the stock spring hanger and moving the shackle hanger back. 64s come in the newer model chevy trucks and require relocating the spring hanger as well as the shackle hanger

Go with a set of 56" leafs and use a shackle flip that will let you run them like DIY4X or ORD

ok cool so do 56'' springs come in trucks newer than 79 or was it the 3/4 ton trucks

 

[obijuan]

yes 73-87 3/4 and 1 ton trucks

I use 56" springs in the rear with ORD flip. The flex results are great.

How much lift does the 56 in spring give you?

I have 63s in the rear but its not a blazer, its a truggy. They flex pretty good but I need to get more weight out back.

They dont offer any lift in stock form but the shackle flip that is needed to run them will gain your between 2-5" most being 4"
