zero rate kits

so first off, do they make one of these for the rear of my '67?! i have been told that the front springs are 2 1/2 and the rear are 2 1/4, and ORD only makes then for 2 1/2" and 3", that is if im on the right page.

second, can i install one of these just to give lift, not to offset the axles any?

what would be the pros and cons to this system (if possible), and what would i get out of moving the axle an inch??

Re: zero rate kits

I would think the 2.5" should be fine with your 2.25" springs...That only leaves about 1/8" overhang on each side..as long as your u-bolts clear them. And yes you can pin them to the spring in the center position..the offset would be used if your tires were not centered in your wheel openings such as when using a shackle flip.
I really don't know of any cons on using these on your rear springs as long as your not combining them with another lift block...really a safe simple way to gain an extra inch if that's what your looking for.

Re: zero rate kits

If your springs are sagging then yes you could use this to level your truck. The only reason to move the axle is to center the wheel in the fender. I just helped a friend install a set.
