Rear lift opinions

Right now i have 6" lift blocks in the rear, and I want those gone right away. I just ordered a aussie locker the other day so I want to get on this. Does anyone know of any aftermarket springs that don't require the spring hanger to be moved? How much lift can i gain from longer shackles? Any places I should avoid getting springs from? I know theres info about this all over yotatech, but I'm curious as to what people are running and what they would suggest for me.

Edit: I'm IFS right now, but will be going SAS soon, if that matters any.

where did you buy 6" blocks?
best lift/cheapest is to put 63" chevy rear springs in..
you weld in new hangers though.
they're longer so they flex well, and they ride better on road.
and you get a lot of lift out of them.

tell me again how you have an IFS and you've got 6" of lift?


Stay away from the WalMart of the off roading industry... 4WheelParts... And their vendors... Spend your money with those that know their sh** and get their bills paid b/c they do.

TrailBlocker, ProComp, Tuffcountry... stuff like that aint gonna get it...

well, most kits that are 4" advertised are 5" or so..
but a 5-6" lift block is just scary O_O

My 4" Procomp lift was installed by 4WP, the PO loved them for some reason. The only money I have ever given them was 12 bucks for a smittybuilt d-link shackle because I needed one on short notice. Back to my lift, I only have a 3" block in the back to match my 4" of lift in the front. So I'm not sure where a 6" block came from, but it sounds scary.
