so i have what i think is a 3 inch rancho lift on my 85, well the front springs are almost to a negative arch and the rear passenger side is starting to succumb to the forces that be

my question is as follows:
should i have my springs re-arched and a leaf added ?
or what i was thinking is get 4 inch springs and extend the brake lines would i run into driveline problems ?

 

It all depends on what your budget is. If your budget allows I would do all new springs, like OME or alcans. As far as i'm concerned add a leafs and re-arching are just temporary fixes and not permanent solutions to spring problems. If your on a tight budget, I would probably go with the re-arching and have all four corners matched at the same time.

 

the budget isnt really the issue. its the fact i have to have my dd apart for maybe a weekend i would love to get all new springs my dad on the other hand ( a ford owner ) says to just re arch them.

alcans are pretty good yea?
anyone else?
