52" Front Springs
How do trucks with 52" front springs handle as a daily driver? Is there too much flex? Are they stable in curves?
I'm planning on a 4wd conversion from a 2wd and I'm looking at the B-52 kit. |

Re: 52" Front Springs
I had mine on a k5 and it was great to drive. Very soft and good ride the only reason they handled well was because of the rear 56s and very firm shocks. Without those, they were loose feeling and lots of body roll.
I eventually removed them for normal 47s which have much better road manners. |

Re: 52" Front Springs
Did you use an anti-sway bar with the 52"s?

Re: 52" Front Springs
No, the axle was pushed too far forward to use the stock one.
