i need a pic and a measurement
 

hello i was wondering if someone with a 4x4 could measure the length of their front leaf springs from eye to eye and if someone could take a picture of the front spring hangers in relation to the core support mounts i'm changing my 67 to 4x4 and need something to go off of to make mounts thanks in advance andy

you can buy them ready to go from DIY4x4 you should sheck out his web site cool pics of the kit. . if your goning to make them your self I would use 52 in springs in stead of the stock 49. The 52 will ride alot better. Here is the only pic I have sorry its not from the side. you can see the front spring hangers are part of the core suport.

Hey Hugger67, I finally got a couple shots last night of what you were asking for on my post but now I see you have got plenty of help from some guys who know what they are doing. I have included a couple shots below and agree with Oldcreek as the stock spring locations are mounted at about 44". Hope these side shots help you out somewhat:

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you. Got sick and wasn't up to going to the shop.

I drove my 70 K5 today and got the following pictures for you. As you can see, the front spring mount is centered under the core support.

Here's a pic from below just for a different view

And then a little closer view from the side

Here is the rear shackle hanger

The springs on my 70 K5 are 4" lift springs and straight across from center of spring eye to center of spring eye they measure 43 3/4".

From center of front spring eye to the shackle bolt that goes through the frame is 43".

Let me know if you need any further info.
