New lift kit on the way for the '71

[1969k10stepside]

Well,Rough Country finally opened their eyes and looked at the truck and how un level it sits.They are sending me a new set of front springs,and bushings to install on the 71.Hopefully this will level things out.Am I happy to get the lift?Yes.Am I happy to have to tear the front end apart and swap springs? NO!
But,that will give me something to do for a hour or so,remeber this is all new stuff,new non rusty bolts..I'm going to have the ones I'm removing re-arched,a spring added,and I'm putting them in the front of the blazer and get some 4" rear blocks for now.So,a lift for the blazer and new springs for the truck.

so did they actually say what size lift they sent? or they just went by your picture? did u ever compare the number i sent u off my spring?well it will be some x tra work fer ya , but as long as it comes out level is what matters huh

They sent me the correct front springs they claim but they weren't arched enough for a 4" lift.The numbers you sent were the same as mine,which they say is the correct springs.I figure it as being a 2" lift now...I don't mind the work if it means it sits closer to level,and it shouldn't take that long since all the bolts are new.And,I get to keep the old ones which once re-arched should be a 4" lift spring,so then I'll only need rear blocks to lift the K/5

Decent that they stepped up.

So thay just said to keep the old ones, no charge?

Yep,I guess the springs are worth less to them than pay to ship the new springs to me,and the old ones back.
