front springs
Would 52" springs ride better up front than my old worn out 44" springs? I think I can answer this myself but just wanted some thoughts from you all. Thanks, 62.

Re: front springs
Yes, I've done it on a few trucks now.
Far better. I hope you're ready for a bit of lift? Last edited by FormerMember; 05-20-2008 at 03:53 AM. |

A shackle flip in the rear levels it out nicely. Although I had a though. I've never installed 52" spring on your year truck. You results may differ. |

Re: front springs
Yea, I'm not to sure about the 52" springs yet. Mine are 44" and they are stiff as hell!! Plus one is sagging a little. One side of the truck is lower than the other, and one spring looks flatter than the other side. Maybe 48" springs would be better. Does the 67-68 front springs have brass bushings like the 60-66 trucks? And are they 2 1/2" wide?
