i have an 89 pickup and im lookin to replace the rear leaf springs. when i bought the truck it came with a 5" superlift, the rear is just blocks under the stock springs, which are worn out. im lookin to replace the leafs with somethin new since i am not happy with the ride that blocks provide. I had leaf and shackle lift on my jeep and it was really nice.
id like to get something along the lines of a 3" lift spring and 2" shackles to give me an equal ride height as the front. is there anyone that makes this or somethin similar? what would you guys suggest?

thanks

Chevy springs with longer shackles will give you a nice comfy ride.

Just go full leaf. You'll be a lot happier in the long run.

if you have the money go for all pros springs but if youre on a budget find some chevy 63s in a junkyard and they will be a pretty good price compared to new springs. you could also use some 2wd f-150s

Don't forget the cost of relocating the leaf spring mounts if you don't know how to weld.

63s can be ran with a stock ifs front?!?!?! I was hoping to get 4 inch lift with shackles is that about right? sorry to ask on this thread but i was going to get them this weekend!

Please delete this suggestion. There are companies like, allpro, Trail gear, marlin crawler, alcan, deaver, NWOR, Etc... that I'd support WAY before even thinking about giving my money to procrap or superlift.

yeah those all pro springs look nice. will those ones need front spring mount relocation? do you need new shackles aswell?
the spring mount relocation is no big deal because im just about to do frame repairs on the reg toyota rust spot above the pass side rear wheel. anybody have pictures of the all pro on a pickup? or some more pictures of the 63's on a pickup?
thanks

And... your point is?

Somewhat of a hijack, delete if you want, but has anyone that needed more lift than the chevy 63" gives (5-6" ? I believe) ever use lift springs meant for the same chevy trucks?

xtreme I just read yesterday maybe on here or pirate of a guy that used aftermarket lift springs for a chevy on his truck cause he didn't like the fact he had to use a block to level it out.

You can run them with stock IFS as you don't get much lift depending on how you set them up.

I like marlin crawler and wab fab the best so far.
