K5 Lifted to K10 stock suspension swap.

K5 Lifted to K10 stock suspension swap.

I’ve been consider returning my 73 K5 Blazer to stock height. It’s currently got a 4 inch lift. My question for you guys is – can I swap the K5 lifted suspension to my 80 K10 Long bed and the K10 standard suspension to the K5. Or will there be spring length issues?

I’m obviously trying to cheap out and save a trip and money at the junkyard.

Also, is there a link or site that notes standard spring lengths?

Thanks!

If there are blocks in the rear, the parts should swap right out.

The K5 does have blocks in the rear. I more concerned with the spring length.

Thanks!

the front springs are the same length. At least they should be. The difference is in the rears. Since you have blocks, it shouldn't affect anything, as you will keep the rear spring with it's respective vehicle. I did just the opposite once upon a time; used the lift out of a 79 K10 in an 81 Blazer. Everything is the same.
