just get some front lift spring from TG or marlin

why would you not want hi-steer it's way better than the stock push-pull...WAY BETTER

BTW chevys flex very nicely check my avitar

63's dont flex that great, I find you need some weight over the rear axle(Flatdeck/Cage/fuel cell) for them to work decently, and buggy leafs help aswell. In terms of lift, I think they give you about 3" of lift without blocks, the front would require 3" lift springs, longer brake lines, longer shocks, and a drop drag link or hi steer.

I just did my hi-steer and am about to put my 63" chevys on, running 56" chevys right now but they don't flex like I want.

My 63's flex as well as my old coils. However my heavy arsed 2nd gen might have something to do with that...
