lift kits swap?

[88trailblazer]

My brother has a 79k5 wiith a 4in Rough Country lift (all springs) and I have a 87 Suburban (1500). Would we be able to swap the lift kit without any complications? Would the sub suffer from sag-ass? Would we have to buy anything too make this happen?

you should be able to put the springs in the sub as long as the rear springs are the same length, you might want to add a add a leaf to help with the saggy butt because a sub is heavier than a k-5

Cool. I won't be able to measure the springs until the weekend.

Does anyone happen to know the spring lenghts of the two trucks?? I want to know if its even possible before I get too excited and start making all sorts of stupid plans!

well the suburban either has 56" rears or 52" rears. it depends. mine is a 3/4 ton and it has 56" rear springs. im pretty sure you might have 52's since its a 1/2 ton. the k5 should have the 52's though. so if you have 56" springs its not really gonna be worth it.
