Is it possible too...?

....too run chevie rears and All Pro 3.5" leafs up front and have it sit level w/o blocks. Or am i just dreaming. I'm trying to look for cheeper alternatives for suspension seeing how I'm prolly gona be dropping in a new motor now.:mad:

I am running All Pro 5.5" Leafs up front with chevy rears, a 2" rear drop hanger and a 2" block I have the 3 leaf pack. So I think without the block with the 2" drop hanger you would sit just about level with the spare tire or somthing....I am going to find me either an add a leaf or some higher arch springs for mine so I can get rid of the 2" block and stiffen the pack at the same time. The only regrets I have is how soft the pack is I have the pro comp 9000 shocks and it still doesn't controll it very well.

Nope . just get the rears from AP also. unless you want to spend more time and $$ on blocks and add a a leaves

You'd almost have to buy lifted chevys and that ruins the whole cheapness factor

I've got about $200 total in the rear chevys.

Sky's chevy hanger kit.. $100 shipped.
Junk yard chevy 3 leaf springs... $40
Pro-Comp LONG add a leafs from summit $60 shipped.

You'd have to pay at least $350 for the All-Pro rears. You still have to relocate the front hangers with the All-Pro's also.

What springs (lift) do you have in front?

I have 4" ap springs.

I did the junk yard chevys .... then the block ..... then the Add a leaf ....... then longer shackles .......then gave up and bought lifted chevys for 250$ shipped......

It sits level now but with the stock chevys it wasnt even close to enough lift to level the front.

Thats why you do a drop hanger and an 8" eye to eye shackle thats what I did and I almost guarantee it will be at 3.5" lift without a block.

i got stock chevys in the rear with my own hanger that i made and dual stock shackles and a 2 inch block and got about 5 inches of lift. it is still a little high in the rear but i am goin to lose the dual shackles anf make a swivel shackle thing. cant beat the ride for 38 bucks

I am using this from Sky for the chevy's. The shackles are 6" eye to eye.

I am still running my old 3 1/2" lift springs from North West Off Road in the front with a 3" lift shackle. I will be running toy rears up front in the near future. I built the toy rears with 6 long leafs from 2 sets of rears.

And make it even more of a rock catcher :rolleyes:


I'm just sayin that if I had to do it all over again.... I would get all four springs from All Pro.......

my 1st set of junk yard chevy springs were tottaly wasted also

[Klif01]

Well, so far I haven't had much trouble with em, Sure I hit stuf on em, its not hurting it though.

I'm running 63's in the rear with 9 inch shackles and 3 inch lifted springs with 2 inch shackles in front and it sits like 1 inch high in back .
