just got a pair of 60s from an f250 snowplow truck.. the front is spring over/my 44 is spring under. how much lift am i going to end up with? looks to be 5 or 6 inches. already have 4 " springs and a shackle reversal, dont want too much more maybee 2 or 3".
these are going under a j truck. also if i need to get new front springs with less lift, what measurements do i need (overall length with no weight on it or what) how do i determine spring rate etc.( my springs now are skyjacker if it matters, they flex well and id like something similar) also who makes histeer arms for king pin 60s? thanx

I don't know exactly how much lift you will gain, but you will need some bigger tires to offset the dif clearance anyway. As for steering arms...everyone makes them Ant on this board or Sierra Rockcrawlers makes them as well as lot of companies. Try Avalanche Engineering also...they might make them
