shackle flip questions

[buffblazer]

hey guys my 86 k5 has 2inch springs in the front with 3/4 ton springs in the back and 2 inch blocks. i dont do alot of hard core wheeling with this blazer but i do haul a lot so i want to keep my 3/4 tons (basically because they are brand new) but i want some more articulation out of the rear and i was wondering would a shackle flip help? and if so what all do i need to buy? and if i do a 4 inch shackle flip in the rear and take the blocks off and buy 4 inch front springs will i be level? thanks guys

They both have complete kits for 2 or 4" flips.
And new springs and a flip should be level depending on the hight of your rear springs.

how will my articulation be with those 3/4 ton springs? right now my axle will only drop 3-4 inches when completly off the ground, now i also think my shocks are all the way out also but is it possible the springs are causing that because they are so stiff

Easy to check , take the shocks off and lift it again. You MIGHT just need new shocks..

well hopefully thats all i need because i would really hate to get rid of these springs

Hell I just found out today my stock rear springs will only drop 2 1/2"

You should be able to sell them here if need be.

im sure i could sell them but i love the way they feel they aint to rough on the ride and i can sit my fat butt on the tailgate and they dont even sag, heck when i put 500 pounds of feed in the back it looks like there is no weight. but i still wanna do minor wheeling.
