That's how the stock springs look. They are not bent.

doesn't look right but that's the way they are...the first time I saw this on a truck I about flipped out. hell even my 67 looked flat but level...well at least until I replaced the springs when I lifted it.

Mr-Jack, I am looking into lifting my 67 4 - 6 inches, any recommendations on which lift. Most of the brands I research do not list the 67 in the fitment guide. Which lift did you use on your 67?

Re: 4x4 gods please help

I used my prior knowledge from building rock crawlers and math skills to piece a lift together...a lot of the stuff I bought were from multiple sources.

Take a look at the top link in my signature block, and if you have any questions about specifics, feel free to PM me.

Jack

That's correct for a factory spring. They had a slightly negative arch to them. Nice blazer, by the way. I miss my '83.
