Best Way To Raise My Ride
 
Here is my pride 86 Silverado. The PO lowered it and i want it back at factory height. He heated the front springs and I don't know what he did to the back but I want to raise it what would be the best way? Tks:confused:

Well, Install stock height springs on the front. By the pic I'd think he didn't do a flip kit but probably just drop shackles on the rear of the springs, Which stock shackles can be re-installed.

You need to look under the back and see what was done to be sure.

Count your rear leafs. If they cheaped out and heated the front, chances are they just took some leafs outta the rear.

Ok tks will check the rear springs as for lowering it more I am not a fan of it. I 'm usually pulling a trailer behind it so i would rather have it factory height also i live on a gravel road:agree:

just pullin your leg on the lower it more thing...i'd look for stock springs.as many guys that have lowered on here somebody has got some cheap i bet.the rear could be shackled or like hiway said about spring pack altered.
