Lifting my truck 2-3 inches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JAKES 68GMC · 08-23-2006, 09:19 AM

I'm thinking about getting some 67-68 4x4 leaf springs and having them re-arched 2-3 inches higher (possibly more leaves if they are 1/2 ton springs), and putting them under my truck. Is there anything I'll probably have to change while putting new springs under it? I need new shocks, because I still have the ones from 1968 underneath the truck.

Is there anything else to look for, E-Brake cables, bushings, bolts, driveshafts. Anything that may cause any problems, I'd like to know. I appreciate any answers.
