Hey guys. I was thinking about swapping 56's in the rear of my k5. I have 52's in the front and rear right now. I just put on some 6" USDR shackles from Kert in the rear and my shackle angle really sucks (straight up and down). So I have read that if you keep the 26" side of the spring (from center pin to eyelit) to the front and put the 30" side of the spring to the rear, I can just swap my ORD flip brackets side to side, than I will have a great shackle angle without moving my axle (just purchased a new rear driveshaft not too long ago, so don't want to move rear axle). So, if anyone has some 56's laying around that they want to make some money off of, let me know. I would prefer to get some that are off a 3/4 ton and just remove some leafs (I have read that the 1/2 ton 56's can be too soft and really start to sag). Let me know. You can reply to this thread or pm me. Thanks guys!! :thumb:
 
I have a couple pair....

And 8 lug rollers if you still need 'em.
 
Scott, you are a fantastic source of parts for me:waytogo:. And yeah, i do still need some rollers. I just need two roller rims and tires actually. What condition are the 56's in? i will shoot you a pm little later and we can talk a little more. I'm currently doing a tile project in my house but i will try to connect with you by the latest tomorrow. Is that cool?
 
No worries. One set was in my K5 so a couple of leaves have been pulled. The other set just came out my crewcab. The latter seem okay but the previous owner spilled something in the bed, like a bunch of latex paint or something and it "drooled" on the springs.
 
I have some also if needed. Mine are out of very gently used 1/2 ton. 5 leaf + lower overload with nice arch still.
