Okay, I have no idea what springs are currently on the front, but they are way to stiff... (was going to put a 350 in her)

So I have chevy 64" springs in the back... and I can always build bigger shackles..
I have 34/10.5 up front and 33/12.5 in the back... If you can seen the pic is got no front bumper and took a hammer to the other side of the wheel well.

Okay, so the big question, what springs and how much lift.... yes I've read the forms... and from the what I've found I'm thinking some marlin craw springs....

So the important part... cause I want flex... not just to fit... how big of lift should I go with....

I like the height im at, dont want to be to top heavy. and I probably wont put anything bigger then 35"s

So marlin crawl ?
how many inches?
And is there a local kansas city, mo place to buy?
or just pay to ship??

 

 

 

I think marlin is out of the spring game. Allpro and Trailgear, I've seen post of guys talking about deaver but there not listed on website. I'd guess 4" would fit your purpose. I'm SAS'd with 4" allpro springs but my set up sits high than what yours will because of frame differences. Pretty sure you're gonna need to go high steer and need new front spring hangar.

 

Ive heard bad things about trail gears leaf springs... (GOOD for street)
All pro is looking better these days.... wondering if I can buy them local.

I was wondering about the 4"... it just seems to spend that much money you might as well go big.... But I like that my truck still fits places....

So 4" you think?
Thx for the reply too...


Side note... is their any thing that can be done to hold your axle in place other then that little pin in the middle of the spring??

 

Yeah the ubolts at proper torque. But I have used grade 8 bolts with head ground round to fit perches.

 

Proper torque would definitely help. But im referring more to the little pin in the bottom of the spring. I've sheared it off before. My axle slid back about 6" on one side. The you bolts where still there.

Maybe not a common problem?

 

That's why i mentioned the grade 8 bolt to replace it. You'll have to grind head round to fit perch index and prolly trim extra to mate with plate/bump stop.
