suspension

[62 short step]

Okay guys need a little info. No one makes a lift kit for 60-66 4x4s, that I have found anyway. So should I get a kit for 67-72 or 73-87 and move my spring mounts? Would this be the easiest thing to do? Looking for at least a 4 inch lift, all spring no blocks. The stock springs are 44" front and 52" rear in length. Thats from center to center of the spring eyes, if thats the correct way to measure. Thanks in advance, Jeremy.

do a 4 in shackle flip in the rear andin the front have some one make you a set for it. I know there are afew guys out there that have had them made from Alcan ,Deavers ,National Spring are a few brought up recently

Check the measurements for the 60-66s, mainly where the centerpin is. If it's centered, or offset front or back. Do the same for a 67-72. If they are the same, then you could order just the fronts. Also check the bushing, could use different size between the two. I thought about swapping mine over when I had my 'burb, but decided to leave it alone.

Could move the mounts and run newer style 48" lift springs. As for the rear, since they are 52s, could possibly swap them for newer style lift springs.

Yea thats what I wanted to do is put newer style springs to replace the old. Thanks for the info 454 rat!
