Does anyone know how the stock rears off of a 89 blazer and the 2", or 3", or 4" tuff country springs compare as far as flex goes. The tuff country website says that the spring is 405lbs/in is that right? What is the spring rate on my stock springs. I would like to get rid of my blocks but I don't want to sacrifice flex and a soft ride.

I pitched my rear springs for a set of TC's and have never regretted it. The stocker's with blocks was a sh*tty ride and mediocre flex... I am pretty sure they were just wore out and worthless. The TC's are real nice and soft, they flex very well for me... though if I were to do it again, I would go with a 2" lifted TC spring for the ride quality and an ORD shackle flip for the lift.

Just my .02

Currently I have a shackle flip and 4" blocks, but I am thinking of using a longer shackle and lift springs. so probably around a 3" spring is what I am looking for.

Thanks

What are you talking about? Yes they are old springs, but I am just looking for some advice. This is not any kind of exact info that I am looking for, just some help.

I figured that someone on this site went from their stock springs to tuff countrys. So then that person should have some good info on how to compare the two.

I just went from stock springs to the 3" Tuff country Ez Ride's. They look great. I haven't ahd a chance to try them out yet but so far they seem good. Wayne was able to flex them a little by hand.
