Long spring kit for 81-91 blazer.

Why couldn't this have been available 3 yrs ago when I did my 64" swap and made my own hangers? I love my 64s.
Any word on coming out with them for 73-80 models?

My customer got a set of these! We are doing a deaver minipack along with 64" springs. Im excited to see how well these work!
Yep just k5's.
Most of your pickup frames you can easily reuse the existing hanger. Frame rails are sttaight. This would include the older blazer models.

Thought I would follow up with this... I installed these brackets with my customer supplied 64" leafs from a newer Silverado along with a deaver minipack. The rear hanger was a shackle flip and 6" shackle in the "long" configuration. We also added my bumpstop mount and swaybar kit.L story short, didn't work. The spring was too flat and didn't bet enough lift and wasn't able to support any weight. Fast forward a bit and we swapped the rear hanger for my tention shackle setup with a 6" shackle moved back 6" from stock. Paired with a custom deaver 64" spring, it now handles much better! With a different shock setup, this kit should very easily net ~16" or so of wheel travel. I'll definitely be buying and recommending these brackets to future customer.
