New rear leafs for my K5

[Monster]

My 86 K5 blazer Has a 4" suspension lift with blocks in the rear. My blazer sags in the rear because of the stock springs are worn out. I want to replace them with a bigger arch spring to eliminate the blocks. The blocks are angled to aim the pinion at the transfer case. If I put bigger arched leafs with no blocks I am assumeing I will need shims.

My question is when I by my new leafs will they come with different shims or do I have to by them seprate? If so who sells them /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif

it depends on who makes the springs, some have a little bit of angle on the bottom of the pack and some dont. whoever you get your springs from should also be able to sell you shims if required.

My BDS springs had the shim already bolted in the spring pack.

I belive superlift also bolts the shim to the spring pack. Or you could alwasy try a shackle flip /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif that would point the pinion towards the t-case also.

Tuff Country rear 4" springs come with the angled shim already. www.offroaddesign.com carries them........... /forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif

if you want them to smile alot and also be real flexy then how about having top two or three leaves from a 56" pack rearched and mount them after moving rear hanger back ? if you were not concerned with ability to haul loads
