Post Need Help on Front End

Hello,

I'm looking for some information, I got a 75 Chevy 4x4 short wheel truck, I had a fella tell me I could take the rear springs and place them up front by moving the front hanger foreward to the "first" set of holes, and using 9" shackles. Supposed to be equal to a 4 in. lift? Need help and advise about how to do this. Thanks,

dude, just buy new springs, the 4" is the most common upgrade. or buy a set of ORD flip shackles.
dont do a butch job on your truck, just get some quality gear
