The other bummer is I have my K5 here with a pretty much new 12" superlift kit on it but the front springs only measure 45" eye to eye. I was looking at the diy4x kit and was thinking I could use the left mount on the right and right mount on the left. Im not running a steering box cause its going full hydro so I could just add some extra bracing from the mount to the frame cause thats where the frame kicks up. Whadda ya think??? thanks

On a 73-87 era 4x4 the stock front spring is flat at best, the stock rear has about 10 inches of arch in it. So if you put a stock rear spring in the front with the diy4x kit it is like having 10 inches of lift. Check out the pictures I posted in HOME MADE LIFT KIT. they are of some home made spring mounting brackets with 4 inches of lift I made.
