Body Damage is Cool
I got a fair bit of lift from my chevy swap IDK what all you guys are saying w/ the no lift thing.

1.5" bj spacers, probly a .25-.5" t-bar crank in front, 3" body lift, chevy springs in back from 2wd 1500 3/4-ton.

Front spring hanger is in the normal spot (9-9.5" forward.. i think?) and the rear is the regular double shackle that people usually do.

this was probly one of my fav mods.

more pics in the link in my sig. the last two pics there are before my chevy swap tho w/ extended shackles and 1" lift blocks.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
sorry it's been so long. The springs are 63" from eye to eye straight across(I guess thats how you measure it). From top to bottom there is a helper spring, main leaf, 3 more leaves, about 3/4" block,and then an overload spring. They are all thick. I was going to take out the overload and helper springs. I got the hanger kit from sky. I guess you mount the front one 11" forward of the original, but where does the back one go?
