Re: 67-72 guys, what's your lift and tires? I want your pics and info!

Mine with a 4" lift and 33s. Used custom Alcan springs with the back built a little over 4" to prevent rear droop. Also had the back set center pin moved back 1" for better tire to fender lip alignment. Wheels are the old 15x10 M/T Challengers with 33x12.5R15 M/T Baja MTZ tires

I'll go take some pics for you. I'm really not 100% sure on how it's wired up. It doesn't even have a battery hooked up to it right now.

Re: 67-72 guys, what's your lift and tires? I want your pics and info!

Wanting to run a TC 2.5 lift on my K20 burb and noticed a few trucks are running a 4 inch rear spring in the back instead of the 2.5 available as a kit.

The ORD 4 inch shackle reversal kit is cheaper than replacement springs but I am worried that the design (SR) may not be up to towing a 30ft trailer.

Anyone with a burb or do a lot of heavy towing run an all 2.5 in lift or 4 inch ORD SR kit?

How does it ride?

My truck sits perfect now but I want new springs as I m sure after 43 years these are lil tired.

I'm on 32-11.50s

Re: 67-72 guys, what's your lift and tires? I want your pics and info!

My Jimmy with 4" Rancho front springs and National 4" HD rear springs. 8 lug conversion with semi-float 14 bolt. Perches redrilled to move rear back 1".

Front of quarters pie-cut to make more round wheel well (rubbed with 12 bolt still in it.) One of my front fenders rubs turning (passenger side) but that's because it was tweaked eons ago before my dad even bought the truck and it's not the right shape.

This pic has 36 12.5 16.5 Goodyear Wrangler II's on it, but they are the same height as the 35 12.5 15 BFG MT's that were on it and the 35 12.5 BFG AT's that are presently on it.
