Suspension kits
Question? I am in the process of rebuilding my 72 Blazer. I had a 68 4x4 and ran a 6" tough country lift and it road like crap. I need some recommendation on which kit rides best. I know these truck are solid axles so the ride will not be best, but I love the 67-72 body style trucks so I will give up some things.I will not be using this truck for 4wheeling. I only want to use the truck to tow a boat back and fourth to the lake. Any comments would be great.

I'm running the Skyjacker softride springs and couldn't be happier. Also, invest in better quality shocks. I'm running the Rancho RS9000 5-way adjustables. It really adds to the driveability because you can adjust how firm it rides. My trucks rides far better than it did at stock height.

I have a tuff country lift and it rides better than stock, maybe different era of manufacturing? I've heard a lot of good things about the skyjacker and when I go higher (6") I'm going with the skyjacker all 4 springs lift. Have to wait until my 33s need to be replaced then I'll just fudge the price and get 36s and the new lift. Don't tell my wife... ssshhhhhhh.

Tuff country has the lowest springrate than any other manufacturer right now that all me and my buddies run now because of cost mostly and I have no complaints.
