64 K10 2" spring lift; issues?

[_mg]

Thinking about new springs all around to a stock truck, what items are affected with a 2" leaf spring lift (for example Eaton Springs)? Do I have to worry about driveshaft lengths, pitman offsets, steering, pinion angles, etc.? Thanks.

With only a 2" lift on a long bed pickup you won't need to worry about driveshaft lengths. Are you running the original t221 divorced transfer case?
Pinion angles shouldn't really change at all. You will need to adjust your drag link just a little but to lengthen it to recenter your steering wheel.

Ate you planning to have custom springs made? The aftermarket doesn't make lift springs for anything older than a 71.

Yes, divorced T221. Eaton Springs in Detroit here offers a 2" lift for a 1964 K10. A little expensive but I can go pick them up, no shipping.

Thanks for the info!

Awesome! These k10s already sit pretty high in stock form so a little 2" bump up should be plenty. Lets see more before and after pics!
