are you talking about a 73 and up lift on a 67-72???? if so do you know that the front springs are longer on a 73 and up? you have to move all of you shackles. the pro's they say the longer the spring the better the ride---- cons alot of work IMO it's not worth it if this is what you are talking about Buy the way the rear is the same

I've got a six inch lift, front springs and rear blocks of you're interested in one made for one of these trucks. I might have shocks too not sure. Not sure on shipping either.

How much do you want for the lift if 1970JIMMY doesn't want it. Details? Thanks in advance

**MJN** · 09-30-2003, 04:29 PM

I'd probably have to get around $150 for everything, I have shocks that came with it, they aren't new but they are good yet, four (4) Doesch (?) Tech hydraulic shocks and two (2) Skyjacker Nitros. I'm not sure what brand the lift is, but am leaning toward Skyjacker. I don't have u-bolts just the front springs, rear blocks, and the shocks. Thanks

Any idea how old they are and if they sagged any. Are you sure they are 6" lift springs. Was this in one of your drivers. I'm looking for a skyjacker lift but don't want any superlift stuff. I've already got u-bolts so that's no problem. Could you figure shipping to 98273. Thanks in advance

I don't think it sagged any, it is a six inch lift, the blocks match all my other six inch's. Yes it was in my Blazer when we bought it. I'm not sure how old it is, it's been sitting on the racks for about four years. Do you want all six shocks? I'll check on shipping it will be a little spendy from Wi. to Wa. thanks
