WTB:"72" Blazer 4x4 Front Springs

Hey my friends, now im looking for complete 72 Blazer 4x4 Factory Front Springs. Right now, its has a 4in lift and i had the original ones, but i lost them along time ago. I would like to drop it back down to original with factory wheels and the hubcaps. But I need the springs. So if any of you have some for sale or know where to get them, pretty please let me know.
Thanks alot, Luis.

Re: WTB:"72" Blazer 4x4 Front Springs

Well if it were me I would get a NEW set of OE springs w/ no lift, in
other words a stock replacement, older would be cheaper no doubt,
but I would be a lil concerned about using 34 yr old tweaked springs

Your best bet is to put a WTB ad in the for sale forum

Somebody's gonna get in trouble...

By the way, I agree with LUV. LMC list them in their catalog so I would assume most vendors carry them.

Re: WTB:"72" Blazer 4x4 Front Springs

I looked for a long time for springs in every place I could think of for 3 years. I got tired of looking and the ride I had with the 4" lift, so I just bought a pair of front springs for my K20 from Detroit Eaton Springs and they are as factory as they come. They make them from factory blueprints. They fit just like original. Nothing like new springs. Don't forget the steering arm and pitman arm need to be replaced. I almost forgot about those, it would have made for a long project.

http://www.eatonsprings.com/ There you go, they are not cheap but they are like original.
I got some rear leafs for my one ton from them. Shipping was a good size chunk of change also.

Re: WTB:"72" Blazer 4x4 Front Springs

What are you looking to spend on a set of springs? I might get a 72 blazer for parts, so I just wanted to know what you were looking to spend on it? Thanks

Re: WTB:"72" Blazer 4x4 Front Springs

I have a completely stock 72 Blazer, with the front end still all together. I could probably wrap the springs and put them on a Greyhould for cheapest shipping. PM if interested.
