Well here is my first attempt at installing '73-'87 4 inch lifted springs on my '67.Does it look lagit? I did alot of measuring .The new springs are 48 inches eye to eye instead of 56 so I moved each hanger in 4 inches along the same plane. the new springs stick out about about 1 1/4 inches wider than the old ones so I will have to move the axle perches out also.

its a rough country lift,they have aggressive springs. The pic isnt the best because I had to shrink it down to post. I made the guy double check also 'cause I thought it looked like a six inch lift.

Right now I am reassembling the chassis,I have gotten every new seal and bearings ,brakes,drums and rotors for the truck. my only snag now is I cant find the the parking brake bar for the rear drums,I will have to go junk yarding or order from Napa or dealer I guess.I have 3.73's ,The front is a dana 44 from a '73. Manual trans with a np205 case.I want to go with Pro comp X-terrains mounted on american racing rims( the ones that look like bead lock)33 inch tires.For the motor I am going with the 330 HP GM crate motor.KD
