Im wanting to get rid of my 5" factory spring blocks so I can run a spring lift. It looks like I will have to do away with the factory rear spring hanger because the shackle will bottom out on the hanger. Has any one done this or have pics of what they used? I was thinking of 67-72 style hangers?
Thanks!

Not sure what you found. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 66 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 66 | Use 73-87 k truck spring hangers. You can buy them new. Use 88-98 3/4 ton 5 leaf packs. The blocks are gone. You get a great ride. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 135 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 135 | What would you recommend for replace the front leaf springs?

If using the 73-87 hangers and 88-98 springs, which shackles would I use, the 73 or the 88? I like the idea of losing the block but wanted to make sure the ride height stays the same. Thanks | | |
