Im not sure what brand the springs are.. There is there anywhere on them i could look for a part number or something to figure out the brand?
Is the steering crossover absolutely needed? I thought I could just get a taller steering arm.
And i guess you say i have to get another drive shaft because then i put the lift on it is going to make the drive shafts too short?
Thanks guys
Used springs are hard to tell what they are , just get some caliper's and size up the eyes as well as the bolt size you need and call energy or prothane bushings.
Cross over steering is the way to go , but you do not have to. You can run a 6" steering arm with a 2" drop pitman arm on the box , (skyjacker) and be ok but it's hard on the frame with big lift and big tires. You should box the frame at the steering box or order an ORD frame brace kit.
ORD also has a 0 rate block you could add all the way around for an extra inch for those 40's , (I have used them a lot with 0 problem's off road).
You will need drivshafts for sure , even if they go out far enough to bolt up they will not be long for this world and pull out of the slip yoke off road.
This is my blazer with cross over steering and it has 9" of lift , (all spring , no body) with cut front fender's and 40" gumbo's on 14" wide wheels. Could use more lift but I dont want to go any higher.
