Who make a 2" Suspension Lift ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

too many · 04-28-2004, 01:22 AM

Well, after driving my 72 haf ton 4x4 for the last 9 years , the 32 year old rear leaf springs are really tired! (one secondary is cracked). I also use it to pull an 18' car trailer... about every week.

I want to install new leaf springs and shocks all the way around , and am thinking of putting a small lift (aprox 2") on it.

Im looking for a couple of things:
1) I dont want to use blocks.
2) I would like to stay around 2", as I use the truck daily to
deliver products.
3) I dont want to get a rough ride

(man I must be getting old!!)

Anyway has anyone had any experience with any particular brand, / and where is a good place to buy one?

Tuff country makes a 2" all spring lift. Get the ez ride springs. Bought mine from Off Road Design.

Sky Jacker also makes a nice 2-1/2 soft ride lift for our trucks. I just put one in my 72 last year, and like it very much.

I have the Tuff Country 2" lift kit still in the box and wanting to sell it. Only reason...I am going to put the 4" lift on instead. Let me know if you are interested. My truck it was bought for is a Chevy 72' SWB 4x4.

Yup - same thing I put on my 72 K20 in 1997 (front springs only) and they are great - nice ride, great quality (tapered leaves), poly bushings that still don't squeak!

My kit came with rear blocks which I didn't use (still oem rears + add-a-leaf). I couldn't say if they make rear springs, but if they do, I bet they'd be worth having.
