I was wondering if someone had rear springs like a company, I just want the rear to be level with the front.....? Thanks Terry

Hmm couldn't you just load it down with a semi tire?

That'd also increase a** end weight and traction.

Other than thaqt i think LMC has a catolog for the 73-80 something trucks with drop and lift springs.

Could always ask around at suspension shops.

I think rjewkes has a good idea. The spring shop could adjust the height by replacing, bending or removing leafs to level it out.

I just removed a leaf or two (cant remember) on my '79 to get it level... Its load capacity is totally shot, but hey it looks good! (definatly a stupid Idea on my part)

Yes, not a good idea sometimes. I did that to a jeep. Went wheelin and ened up breaking the rest of the leafs in half. Glad I wasn't going down the highway.

This is what you need if all you want to do is level the rear with the front.

thanks marz so your saying those shackle hangers will make it even with the front?....Terry

That's all you need Wolfpack.

If you cut off the bottom half of all the wheels.......

Just foolin.

Cut springs in front. Now bend axles to get tires to sit straight.
Remount rear axle on top of the springs. Take care to get the pinion
angle close, or it will shake like a wet dog. Don't ask how I know.
