It isnt the prettiest or the most high dollar rig around, but if my driving performs as well as it flexes im sure I can hold my own with anyone out there.

questions

this is the kind of lift i wanna do to my 96 can you give me lots of info on how you did this leaf spring brackets ,placements mesurements any info would be good . im kinda new and learning . i was just gonna take the front end off of a jeep yj and make it fit .

well, you can either do it shackles in front or in rear, I did in front. Most guys go in rear because it will drive better on street.

With my axle I needed to outboard the springs from the frame a bit so the spring perch wouldnt be ontop of the differential, its a little on the side of it now.

read through my SAS thread, theres lots of good info in there. Lots of pics too around page 9 I believe.

Spas has a 2nd gen on leafs so hers may be more helpful to you, but for the most part our trucks design is the same.
