Is there a rear spring that i can put on the rear of my 87 truck that will lift it?I dont want to fab mounts like i was told i would have to do if i use K5 blazer springs but id like to get the back up.

something in the range of 4-5 inches would be nice

 

Most suspension companies, Superlift, Skyjacker, BDS, offer stock length rear leafs for $200-300. They are short though, and with the arch built into them, you have to watch out for shackle inversion( when the shackle flips forward and prevents the leaf from moving back). If all you want is lift, then these are fine. Better than a block/add-a-leaf setup.

 

I had the Skyjacker "Softride" 4" springs on my 89 4runner. I swear it was more like 5" of lift. The flex was pretty good. The ride was pretty tough. The price was upwards of 300 if I remember correctly.

Then I swapped to Downey 3" springs. Cost me 168.00, says 199 on thier site now. www.downeyoff-road.com
These are supposedly made by the same people that make teh stock Toyota springs. To get a true 3" of lift you need to re-use a leaf from the stock pack. The ride was softer than the skyjackers and the flex was good. I opted not to use the stock leaf or overload, instead I used the downey prerunner add a leaf as the overload and achieved somewhere in teh neighborhood of 2" of lift.

Now I run Deavers that require relocating the mounts. It was waaaay more than worth it. If yopu're looking for a lot of flex or ride quality, you are limited with the stock length choices. BUt you can get the height you desire.

 

and be happy.....easy decision, not expensive.....
