Raise the rear on a Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I own a '72 K5 with HD front springs. The front sits up nicely and I'd like the rear to sit a little higher. What's the smartest way to level the look of the Blazer?? Has anyone added a helper air spring? Air-shocks, etc?????

It depends on how much lift you need.

If you are just trying to correct the rear sag, 1 inch zero rate add a leafs should work.

+1 for Offroad zero rates. Run them on the front of mine.

Air shocks sound cool, ran them on my 62 impala in high school....wonder if they make them in a 4" lift

A friend of mine had his original springs rearched to correct the sag...
