Re: Best lift kit ride for 72 Chevy K-10?

2" Tuff Country EZ Ride springs all four corners. There is also a rear helper spring and 1" block to level out the rear. Rides well but better with weight.

That front bumper is awesome! Did you make it? Or can I buy one like that somewhere? I would love to have something just like that! It reminds me of a CUCV bumper, But more badass!

More about that bumper. I've been sketching to make one. I like how that wraps around.

Plus, too stay on topic. I have 4" Skyjacker soft rides in front and I've renamed them CRAPjackers. I don't like them, too soft.

This sort of thing is so application-specific. I have the skyjacker 2.5 on a k10 longbed with a 396 and the hd front setup and it seems about right to me.

It is for sure. I may have been happy with the HDs. But now I'm blaming the whole SkyJacker brand, fair or not, and will probably give ORD a call when I replace. And it's on my short ToDo list.
