63" chevy spring swap***help***

[chapnutz_#1]

well i have aquired the parts that i need, well i think i did

i found a set of 4" TTB drop brackets from another member as well as a set of 4" SJ coils(sending funds in the am-ran around all day getting other parts)

SJ radius arm brackets

i got all hardware(as per the tech library guide)

PA 2" body lift

have a set of lowering shackles for a full size 2wd GM truck

picked up a set of 63" GM 4x4 leafs from a 2500 truck, 5 spring pack(???)

^will those work like the 63" 1500 leaf pack...not looking for flex and all kinds of articulation, just want the truck to be tall as hell and be able to fit 35, 36, 37's not sure yet...looking to run over the punk kids and there dumb annoying civics LOL

will those leafs work...i think they should...just going to be stiff, and extremely rigid...can always take out a few leafs and place a few ranger/exploder ones into the pack

You will want to pull at least one of those leaves out right away, personally I like running my 63's with 3 leaves (main, number 3, and ranger overload) for daily driving and offroading. I have been running with 4 (3 chevy pack and ranger overload) this summer since I have been trailering so much.

My GM springs are from/for a 2500. Mine are 4" lift springs for a 3/4ton and I took out a few leaves to soften them up. But yeah, same length and width as the 1/2 ton springs, you'll just have to figure out your spring rate.

with the springs, shackles, and stock block...how much lift would i be looking at-i am hoping to get around 4-5" is that feesable with this setup??

That should put you about there. I got 9-10" out of mine, and my springs are 4" lift ones.
