Springs for a '89 W250

[jeff77indy]

I am going to use a set of 1" or 2 1/2" lift springs from Skyjacker on the front of my '89 CTD. I have already put a pair of 1" add a leafs on the rear some time ago.

If I go with the 1" front spring pack should I replace the rear add a leaf with a new 1" or with a 2 1/2" add a leaf since I already have a 1" installed to level the front and back?

Also if I go with the 2 1/2" all the way around will I have problems with my drive shafts? I've had a 4" kit on an 1979 Power Wagon and had no problems with the drive shafts. I can not see where a

2 1/2" would affect them.

Thanks.

Jeff

Jeff,

I would recommend the 2 1/2" kit with the block eliminator option. It will give you a much better ride, better articulation and less axle wrap. This is the way I plan on building my 73 crew cab that my current drive train is going into. I believe Bushwacker or Powerwagon is running this kit already and could give you more insight. As for the driveshafts, 2 1/2" shouldn't cause any kind of problems. Don't really have to start thinking about it till 4".

Later,

Paul
