Alcan or skyjacker springs?

[Luba]

I just price a set of 6 inch lift springs from skyjacker thru summit and it was $943! That is for 4 new springs with poly bushings and the u-bolts and nuts. That seems like an awful lot seeing I can get a set of custom made alcan springs for $850($200 per front, and $225 each for rear) using another memebers quoted prices for our k5's. Do the alcan springs come with the poly bushings? What about the u-bolts? What do you think?

The Alcans will have more springs per pack, resulting in a smoother/softer ride.

I wouldn't want to tow anything with mine because they are so soft but for off road flex and overall ride quality they smoke anything else I've ever installed or ridden in to date.

What's the main focus of your blazer going to be?

If you go the Alcan route you can have the rates set up custom to your rig and your needs. I have a set of rear springs on my Frontier from Alcan, I had them set up for a wheelin/towing mix, which works well when I carry hundreds of pounds of crap on my 4x4 adventures.

Alcans have poly bushings, but do not come with bolts.

Adjustable shocks will help vary the spring`s ability.Rancho 9000RSXs set on tight stiffen-up the ride considerably.Set on softest,they allow full flexy.
