    Thanks for the info. I only plan on lifting the front on my truck.. the rears have been replaced with heavy half springs so i just want the front to come up a bit.. not planning on doing any major off road stuff. It will be a pavement princess and winter daily. Sorry for cursing lol

    Ok that’s great info, thanks for that. I will most likely go with a 2” lift spring. I’m hoping to keep things as stock as possible with the 33’s. I’m still not clear on what year to order, i know i have a 70’s frame. I assume they were all the same length? I just don’t want to get the wrong ones...

    Hi again. I’ve also seen guys make some longer shackles to raise the front end. What do you think of that? I figure that’s not the best way to go but then again that guy drove a jeep so...

    Thanks! My boss is generous enough to let me use the shop after work, and also store the truck. Here’s a few dumb questions for you, could i use3/4 ton springs? Are they the same length? I imagine they would ride higher..(and stiffer). I see rock auto sells stock 1/2 ton springs but if they...

    Thanks guys... I don’t plan on doing major off roading, it’s going to be more of a winter daily. I mostly want the truck to ride level and keep the rubbing to a minimum. I will probably have to massage the bottoms of the fenders to make a little more room. It’s no show truck so I’m not worried...

    Ok good to know... the cab has been put on this frame by the previous owner. It has a (I believe) heavy half rear end. Its a 12 bolt. 6 lug wheels. 4speed transmission. The front springs are curved downward and there are some load leveller shocks. I’m pretty sure the springs should curve up and...

    Hi guys.. I recently bought a 81 sierra and i need to replace the front leafs.. its a 4x4 k1500. The front leafs are 3 inches wide and 47 inches long. My question is how can I tell what year the frame is? It has a stamp on it (8 100) and also a part number. Does this stamp mean it was built in...
