Re: Used lift kit problem

My thought is to get the rear springs re arched and rebuilt. The rear springs appear to be original [40+ years old]. Your truck is a work truck with a utility bed. I know my work truck is always over loaded with tools and parts! PLEASE tighten down the front U bolt nuts. I would not use 6" rear blocks, they can induce wicked axle wrap on acceleration, and that will only be worse with old tired springs. Also check into a dropped pitman arm off the steering box to straighten out the drag link and prevent bump steer. SWEET truck. All the best, Dirk
