K/5 4" Lift Qs?
Here's the deal...I'm pondering retiring my '91 Suburban 3/4t and using stuff off that on my '85 Jimmy.The 'Burb has a 4" Tuff Country EZ-ride suspension and I'm thinking to swap that and axles to the Jimmy.
So,question #1:The springs are 56" and I wonder how it works putting them on a K/5.Both front and rear hangers need moved,right? #2: Does that raise it up more because of the front location?The rear is mounted on the straight rail so no change there.I don't want any higher than 4".I'm thinking I might be better just using an axle-flip kit and using the springs on something else. #3: Do I need to do a slip-yoke eliminator for a 4" lift?I've only done long beds with the NP208 or NP241 and all the shortbeds & K/5s had NP205s.the Jimmy has a 700R4 and the 'Burb has the 4L80E.I figure (at this point) I'll stay with what's in it and do the 4L80E later.
