Time for a washer lift

[Dugan]

I put on a 3in body lift last night and my 89 is looking like a jackhammer, I bought this truck being told it had HD rear leafs because the guy installed them to tow and hold heavy loads (Mailman carrying 1000+ papers)

I found a guy on CL that has the bushings, but ive read they get beat up and the washers are better. My question is where have yall bought these washers, I might be able to get them at Tractor Supply or Lowes, and my final question what did you do to increase the stud length? Go buy a longer coil stud? If so what thread, size, and length did you go with.

Also, what bushings would I need to align this with maybe 2in of lift and or adjustments to my camber/caster

Thanks

look for 1 1/4" washers, they have the 1 3/8" center hole you need, I got mine through work using their account at the fastener company they use, they were CHEAP, like well under $.50 each... If you use an inch of washers that will keep you alignable and with enough thread left to not have to worry about the stud

If you look close you can see how many washers I have under my spring seats, and that there are a few threads left on the stud if you look at the drivers side spring.

as for alignment cams, get the fully adjustable ones, don't know what degree they go to on the D28...
