1975 Lift Kit

I've got a 1975 K5 Blazer and would like to put a 3" lift kit on it. I've got leaf springs in front and rear, not sure if that's normal or not. Also a 4x4.

Price, it doesn't need to be the cheapest in the market, but I also don't want to buy the most expensive in the market either.



Any recommendations?

Re: 1975 Lift Kit

rough country = stiff empty 5ton dump truck ride . i only remove there kits i will NOT install them .

good ride for off the shelf and price point is tuff country .

or prem ride off the shelf is BDS

best kit is call offroad design and get a set of spec built springs or have them put a good kit together with tuff country and there parts and be good to go . i should have stock in ther company as much as i buy from them . www.offroaddesign.com

Re: 1975 Lift Kit

skyjacker is durable if nothing else. i got 8" skyjackers on my crew that i installed approx 14-15 yrs ago- they have not sagged one bit in all that time, even after accidently driving over a mercury topaz...
they are not the smoothest, but anything higher than a 6, your tires will dictate 90% of your ride quality..
