Ok, back on the lt1 shortbox project. I picked up a 73 blazer frame for some differential parts. It has a 4-6 inch lift kit on it. Can I swap the lift onto my 72 or mix and match parts of leaf stacks to make a 2 or 4 inch lift for the 72?

The front springs on '73-up trucks are longer. You can move the rear spring mounts back,but that will produce about 2" more lift
