52" Swap Q's

[SunSoaked]

I put 52s on my 69. Swapped the whole front/rear off an 89 M1008. I cut the hangers off, centered the wheels in the wells, drilled, mounted, whamo done deal. I also modified the front hangers with 2 inch steel spacers (bottom and vertically) to achieve a 2 inch lift (w/o a lift kit) and ORD heavy duty shackles (6 inch). I have yet to reinforce/box the frame and fill the holes, but it sits just how I wanted. Is it gonna be stiff? Yep. But the 454 and NV4500 will settle it down a bit.
