I just compared my truck to a guy I know that has a lifted blazer and I'm thinkin I actually only have a 4" suspension lift. My fenders are only at about 49.5" on 39's. I just don't understand why I have so many leaf springs. It rides like hell
I've got new shocks that I'm about to put on that have more than enough travel to compensate for more lift. But I just wanted to verify that I the shackles and shims will work before I go to ordering them
Here's some pics of my current setup
Without changing anything else do you think I could add 1.5" lift shackles and 4 degree shims? I'd like to do zero rates too but then I'd have to get longer U bolts
Thanks!
Honestly I had never heard of them till I saw them on this truck. I knew Mickey Thompson stopped production on all they're big and wide tires years ago but I only knew of claws and mtz's. It's also kinda funny that somebody put sand tires on a truck in Tennessee haha
It will just be a street queen. I may take it out in a muddy field occasionally but that's about it. It's really too big to do any trail riding
Here's some pics of it
I might be going a little overboard here. But would it be possible to do the lift shackles and zero rates if I get some shims to correct the pinion angle? I'm running 39x18 mt baja belted's and they rub a little with only 9" of lift
I had zero rates on my old 2006 GMC so I know about them. I'm just not familiar with these older trucks suspension. So if I added these I wouldn't have to modify anything?
I recently purchased a 79 scottsdale with what appears to be a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift. The front is considerably lower than the rear and I need a reasonably cheap way to lift it a little. I was looking at some 1.5" front lift shackles but I don't know what all I would have to...
