Re: WTB 72 4 X 4 Frame

Only had ps frame issues with 67's. All blazers even 2nd gens rear springs were 52". Have had both 50" and 52" on 3/4 ton rear leafs. You can concave the outside of frame on 67 ps if you are handy with heat and sledge hammer LOL.

Blazers came out in 69 with the different length springs and that ran through 72. Also, the Blazer have a reinfored plate behind the mounting raise area for PS gear. Truck frames did not. As far as know, most 67-68 4x4 were manual boxes. There was power steering but mounted differently.

"You do realize that the 67/68 suspensions are the red headed step child of after market suspension suppliers right? As far as I know there are no aftermarket dealers supplying suspension lifts for the 67/68 years.

I had to have mine redone at a spring shop that made springs for large trucks, and that was over ten years ago and today? doubt it." Quote from another board member on 67-68 springs.

I don't have the measurements of the springs, but, if mgross chimes back in I'm sure he could lay it out. There are mounting kits available to install different lenght springs and the aftermarket kits springs are only 2'' wide. Stock springs are wider, I`ve known guys to put spacers between the spring eyes and the hangers.
