Lifting a stock 67 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone lifted a stock 67 and what did you do for steering mods. I would like to replace my stock leafs with 2 1/2 inch skyjacker springs. I have lifted many a truck in the past just not a 67. I have never had to deal with this type of steering set up befor. I have the frame here and the axels in my other shop so I can't look it over to do the figuring at this time. However I'm thinking about it and was wondering what it will take to get done.

I'd like to know this also. Have you already purchased the spring setup, if so how much?

You probably will not need to do any thing for a 2.5" lift.

I agree you wouldn't have to do much of anything w/ the steering. I have some 4" rough country front springs i'm selling, you could remove the bottom leaf and have about 2.5" of lift. $80 plus shipping.
