Ok ... So I bought a 79 gmc 1/2 ton short bed Friday and spent the weekend diagnosing what's wrong with it. It has got the lf spring is bent, the lr spring has 2 leifs cracked in half,( thinking I need 4 springs) some bent/cracked diff shields on it, all shocks are bad, the trans cross member is bent and the trans/t-case is hitting the floorboard, the steering gearbox bolts have pulled threw the frame and have been Jerry rigged, the rf ball joints are bad, and there is more litle stuff but that's the big stuff that's bad. Now ... The steering gearbox and trans crossmember, and ball joints I've alredy addressed and gonna fix those this week. But my question is about the springs. It looks like the lift that is on it as a 4 in lift. I've been reading on here for a few months now and have seen mention of 56 in springs and fliping the rear shackles to get the lift in the rear. Wich sounds like what I want to do, I'd like all the suspension travel that I can get. I'm just gonna beat on this truck as I got it cheep with brand new 33 in bfgs on it. It's gonna be my play truck that I don't care about that much, so I don't want to spend a million bux on fixing it. So my question is ... What springs and shocks should I get and where ? And what do I need to install the 56 in springs on the rear ? Thanks guys for anny help !!! And yes I did a search but came up with nada.
