I have 68' swb chevy 4x4, doing my restoration, it looks like there is 4 inch lift blocks under the stock leaf springs. Give me some adivse
Should I re-arc my springs and put the lift blocks back $25 per leaf = $100 Should I add new thicker leaf springs that will give me 4 inches how much and where?? Thanks. |

I just bought a 6" sky jacker kit for $518.00 and it came with blocks for the rear, spings for the front, shocks, shock boots, and a raised steering arm. Going cheap and getting the blocks for the rear was a bad idea and now I had a set of springs made for the rear 6" taller for $200.00. If you have blocks under the front springs it IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure the front is all spring lift. I have seen front blocks kick out going down the road and it is not pretty at all.
