Fix my lift

[axekick]

I bought the Big Blue Suburban and I've got my hands full. Anyway, it came with something like a 6" lift that seems to be all springs but I can't figure out what ****** springs they used. The front shackle angle is backwards like the spring is too short and the front and rear rides like a covered wagon. Here's what I'm thinking...

I don't think I need the whole 6". I think it would look and ride just fine on 4". I want to get stock 56" springs for the rear and do a shackle flip and install 52" springs on the front. I like the DIY4X stuff. They have what looks like a bolt on bracket for the front 52s and there are several descent looking options for the rear flip. Is this a good way to go? Spring lifts are so damn expensive I think there is may be a better way.

I'll get some pics of the current stuff later today.

I've had front 52's, they worked well for me. The DIY 4x4 stuff is good, I used their shackle flip in conjunction with the 63" rear spring, and the B52 front setup.

It rode great, flexed great, and was all around a pleasure to drive afterwards, before I felt like my spine was going to shoot out the top of my head with every bump.

Is the B52 kit all bolt on or welded? What do the 63" springs come off of and what does it take to get them on there?

Here are some pics of how badly mine is set up. Including the rear spring numbers. I can't find anything about them by searching out the numbers.

I just picked up a set of 63" springs with the shackle flip attached to them from a friend who has a fab shop. J.R., please give me some advise on what it takes to get those springs mounted up. Did you just install the shackle flip and relocate the front hangers? Did you drill and bolt the front hangers or weld them in?
