Leaf Spring Arch
I have a 1972 1/2 ton 4x4, I was told it is a "heavy half??" due to the fact it has helper springs on the rear. My question is I was going to have the springs re-arched. It looks that over the years they have lost some lift. The guy at the shop said he could gve me a inch or two of extra lift by arching them a little more. Is this a good way to go for a little body lift?? Not wanting much of a lift just enough to make it stand tall and have tire clearence.

Re: Leaf Spring Arch
You could re-arch your springs or you could buy 2" lift springs. Yes, that would be the best way to achieve your stance. FYI - More arched springs would be a suspension lift. A body lift is blocks placed in between the frame and the body.
