[/IMG]alright here it is and know its a lil big but oh well you can see it good thats for sure it says itll fit my blazer but i measured them and it dosent look like there gonna fit theese in the pic measure 47"5/8 and 45"1/2 and my blazer is a 76 measuring 51 "5/8 and 47"1/8 from center to center


I guess what im trying to ask is what this kit fits cause it looks like its not gonna work on my blazer unless i do some bracket moving ... i have access to a welding shop and i'll probably end up using these new leafs cause my current lift is with blocks in the back and leafs in the front ....i just came across these this past weekend at the swap meet for 250 bucks for everything in the pic so i jumped on it and now im stuck with them ... but its better than what i got right now but just dosnt fit

yeah everything looks like itll fit on paper but the leaf springs dont measure the same from center to center ... when i take off the old leaf springs is their measurement gonna change off of the truck?

When you install the new springs and put weight on them. They will flatten out so the measurement will increase
 
so im gonna have to strech them out when i put them on with the floor jack or ? its just that i thought the new leafs would line up with the holes on my blazer right now

no, no, no, the shackles will move so you can line them up with the springs. Once everything is bolted in and you lower the truck off the jack and all the weight is in the springs, the spring will compress and the shackles will swing towards the rear of the truck, does that make sense?
 
oh yeah got it now thanks man thats why i came here im just too green but ill know for the next time
 
oright thanks guys this ones done ...just good to get answers so quick! i wasnt even considering the shackles
