leaf spring question
Can anyone tell me if the rear springs off of a 75 SWB chevy will fit to the front of a 77 SWB chevy, I want to raise it up to clear 40's but ain't got aloto $$. I was going to do blocks on all four corners but someone said blocks are bad on front axle.What if you "weld" them in place? Thanks,conoverbandit.

You will need at least a 6 inch lift to clear your tires. Also if you go any higher than a 4 inch lift you have to redo your drive lines, get longer brake lines, and get a special steering arm. You would have to stuff alot of springs all the way around to clear. I would just save up and buy a lift. Try to find a used one. Also, I had blocks in the front of my 87 and you loose all your stability. The truck would just wander around the road. I put add a leafs in now.
