Lift springs interchangeable? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

6" rear lifts springs from an '80 Blazer be swapped into a 72K5? How about the fronts? Someone has offered a lift from their blazer but I don't want to spend on something that will only end up with me dealing with a hammer and stress! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Fronts - No. The 69-72 Blazers have shorter front springs than 73 and later models.

Rears - Yes. However the location of the center pin should be checked to be sure the axle is centered in the wheel openning.
