Getting the Wheeling Fever
I am considering this lift:

79-85 P/U 4wd 4" Front leaf springs w/ urethane bushings, sway bar link extensions, bump stop extensions, u-bolt kits, REAR SPRINGS, adjustable drag link, stainless steel brakelines, w/ 4 ES3000 shocks
$620.99

Any opinions, pro or con?

My 80 needs a lift, I high centered twice yesterday <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks!

I used to have their springs on my rig, they are foreign made and of poor quality, give a very stiff ride and don't flex well.

skip it. If you want to go mass-market springs, buy Skyjackers 3" kit. very nice springs, nice kit, great ride/flex.

Very bad experiences with Pro-Comp springs, mostly involving sag. Their other products aren't necessarily bad. Decent inexpensive shocks, for instance.
