Options for new front leaf springs?

[padresag]

the block isn't welded. now you see on your rear spring there is a centre bolt in it. usually that aligns with the spring perch on the axle. that keeps everything from slipping out of place. that orig rear spacer block has allowances for that. now you have those 2 other spacer blocks and a scrap of spring for another spacer. wonder if they also have receptacles for alignment plus those long ubolts. that is where the problems will come from.
Jon should be able to advise you

Sorry, I'm kind of a newb to all this stuff! I know that front lift blocks are illegal in most states and are dangerous, so I'm definitely going to replace my front springs to match the rears. I will most like replace the rears also so I don't have to worry about the lift blocks and the other spaces. I do wish it was a newer frame as I could just replace the leaf springs with the ones meant for the newer frame.

Let's hope he can! It would be super awesome.

Thank you for your help! I guess having the original frame if I do makes the thing more valuable. I'm gonna run the vin and see if it's an original 4X4 truck.

VIN says it came from the factory as a K25.
