How much do you think that will settle, and is that a 350 auto in your truck?

my truck is a 350 turbo 400 trans fully loaded with a/c,as far as how much it will settle im not sure i've done lifted trucks that never lost any height and some that dropped a inch.

Thank you, we have identical truck except for the A/C.

Had a few things go wrong in the shop so I have to wait on the lift, but I am going with the RC.

Just out of curiosity, how old are the superlift springs that cracked? I am planning to also to go 4 in/35s on my 76 blazer

[Sarge261]

I am going to have to say that the springs are atleast 10-15 years old, and the springs in the rear are original, just used lift blocks.

I was told you are getting what you pay for on the cheaper lifts. Told the steel that they use are weaker. I used 6" BDS.

[Sarge261]

I am not sure how much of a difference that would make. Most all the leaf springs are made from the same steel. The superlift on my truck now has cracked leafs all the way around. Granted the rears are factory, but the front arent.

The guy that runs a 4x4 shop up here sid to stay away from BDS cause the truck wont sit level.

I am not going to wheel this thing hard or overload it, Im just gonna plow with it and use it for mild hauling. If I really need to move something big I'll use my 1 ton diesel.
