Off Roading 6 inc lift

[guh2stroke]

Anyone know where to get a 6 inch set of spring for front and 4 inch for the back at a decent price? I got the 4inch for the front :{ now I have bashed fender wells(after cutting the fenders) and can't go offroad. The company I got them from has now doubled the price of the springs and to top that off nobody there speaks english.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance, Alex

there are custom spring winders that can do it. Skyjacker makes a 7" coil but the ride is going to be skyjacker-style. You could run the 7" skyjacker coil and the 4. 5" tuff country flower pot spacer and have 11. 5" of lift :-laf Skyjacker also makes their platinum coilover that is adjustable me thinks.

I haven't found any cheap Leaf springs for the first gen either. Had to bite the bullet for softrides. You can get a couple more inches without new springs though. A spring shop should be able to get about an inch to 1. 5 out of them with out too much length problem. A one inch block in the front wont hurt any thing, I run the center pin through the springs wedge and block to be on the safe side. Or you can lower your shackles some with a little fabricating. I also run airbags over top of the springs, run no air on the road and pump them up when you hit the dirt. You get more lift and it stiffens the suspension so it wont get to the fender as easy, Win/Win there.

Good luck

why would you want to run a block in front on a solid axle truck thats a Big NO NO in the Laws book :-{}

so is a six inch lift in some states. Some states say there is to be no block anywhere, but the trucks come with them,hmmmm. I say that most people on this forum have somthing illegal in some book somewhere. I don't know of too many cops that even know where there should and should not be a block. They just know how to say," ahh it looks a little high". :-laf Just giving suggestions anyway. good luck.
