I done a off road design kit on my 72. All greasable spring eyes and shackles. I done the shackle flip in the rear and 4" springs in the front. Replaced all spring bushings, heavy duty shackles in the front and a 4" steering arm the kit was great!! the site is offroaddesign.com. Great customer service and parts!!

Good as any, right there.
Nice kit, great company.

There's a lot of companies out there selling 4" lift kits for our trucks, decide on the amount of cash you wanna spend and start comparing.

FYI, the less expensive springs use recycled metal and will sag more sooner than those that don't.

Pretty much what I was going to say, quite a few good kits out there, hard to go wrong. Just DO NOT go with rear blocks, pony up the exta bucks for an all spring lift, or do the shackle flip.

DIY sells a lot of suspension parts too, good guy to work with as well.
