if so do you have pics and what size tire are you running?
or 56" spring in the rear to center axle. Last edited by Goplay2; 08-26-2005 at 01:34 PM. Reason: add |

I"m running 2.5" Skyjacker Softride front springs. I have rear overload leafs on the stock spring pack, and never did install the rear blocks that came with the spring kit. No pics right now (I'm still learning how) but the truck sits virtually level. I'm running 33-12.50 x 16.5 BFG AllTerrains on 9.75 rims and have no clearance issues - though many years ago, I notched the leading corner of the front fenders.

Thanks guys
zeeklu, on your rear spring is the axle still in the center?
My 4" kit is a little to high for what i want and the axle looks like s.... moved to far to the front. iam 4x4 man and all the 4x4 i have had, none of them looks that bad as my 70 does, i would rather have shims to set my pinion angle than that.

Yes it's still centered . I'm not sure of the spring length but I did have to relocate the rear spring hangers.Moving the hangers was really no big deal. measure 4 or 5 times and drill once.

I just put 2.5" Skyjacker leafs under the front with Off Road Design's HD shackle kit, 2.5" add-a-leafs in the rear, and Skyjacker Hydos all around on my 72. I am running 32x11.5 BFG MT's on 15x8s. For some reason, my front right side is still sagging. About 2" less than the left. Not sure what is causing this...I was guessing extra weight from the battery and heater assembly, but that shouldn't lower it 2.5"?!?!? Damn, I tried adding pics, but they are all too large. I'm not sure if I will be unable to resize them, but I can email some to you if you would like. Let me know. AJ
