Wanna lift? Let's swap your stock leaf springs for my Skyjacker 2.5" kit.

My '72 K5 Blazer came with a 2.5" Skyjacker lift kit. I want to drop it down to stock height. It's my understanding that springs from a C20 4x4 will fit without modifications.

Will consider purchasing used springs, but would rather trade with someone who is looking at installing a mild lift on their vehicle. I'm looking for front and rear springs.

If you're interested, let me know. We'll work out the shipping details depending on what's involved.

Thanks!

Howdy, joemacho. Tell me more. How old are your springs. Are you sure they are stock? From the picture, it looks like your rig isn't much lower than mine. I know we are only talking about 2.5" lift (with my Skyjacker). I just want to make sure.

PM me, so I will be notified next time I log in.

Thx! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Not to highjack the thread but just a quick 2 questions for joemacho.

Is you Jimmy stock height? and what sides tire do you have on it?

OK, I'm a little confused (not for the first time...). You say the springs are stock today, but the rig was lifted at some point in the past.

That would mean you lowered the lifted rig back to stock height by putting the stock springs in place -- yes? What else was involved in that process?
