My new stance 2" Tuff Country EZ. Ride - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally got around to snapping a few pics of my 72 4x4 after installing the 2"EZ ride. I am running 33/ 12.50 size tires on 15x8 inch ralleys.

Very nice!

Oh that is sweet! Hey thanks for the pics. My 72 is getting close but has stock suspension, with the Tuff Country 2" do you notice a rougher ride than stock? I have a post here on Rough Country lifts and the feedback has made me decide on spending more and getting a better ride. Is your ride the same, better or worse than stock with the lift??? Again you have a very nice truck! Congrats!

Thanks for the feedback! I cant honestly give you a real answer about the difference between stock and the ride I have now. The truth is, the reason why I changed the suspension to the tuff country kit is because the previous owner had a 4 " lift put in. 4" blocks in the rear and add-a -leafs in the front. The truck was terrible for ride. All that I can tell you is that the truck feels sooo much better than before. It does not "jarr" on the big bumps on the road yet it feels like a solid truck to drive. I don't take my truck off road a whole lot. I wanted to find the best ride for the money as all I use my truck for 90% of the time is just around the city. I could not be any more happy with the ride now. Also the kit I recieved was hassle free to install. Everything fit perfect and there wasn't any parts that I found to be sub standard. I hope this helps your decision.

That is a sharp truck!

Nice truck! My son's '70 will look very similar. Same color and tires. Is that 2 inch lift actually 2 inches? It looks a little higher than that.

Very nice. The stance is perfect with the Ralley Wheel Tire Combo you have. What size tires are you running?

67cst · 11-22-2005, 12:27 AM

Nice truck!!!

knsmodels · 11-22-2005, 05:19 PM

Nice truck.....two questions.....what other mods are required for the 2" lift on a stock suspension truck?? does it fit in the garage with a 2" lift??....Thanks

**Stocker** · 11-22-2005, 08:10 PM

Kns, not to step on Super's toes, but while you're waiting for his reply...

I put 2 1/2" front springs on my '72 (skipped the rear blocks b/c I have rear add-a-leafs). No other mods req'd other than longer front shocks (IIRC, I used the same KYBs that I have on the rear), and it'll fit the garage just fine.
