8" front and rear springs for $400 Brand new.
Tuff Country EZ-ride rear and Burbank fronts.
Damn them babies look big, LOL
Now I just have to start gettin all the rest of it so I can get it under the K5.
I was checking out My buddies 16" lift and I think I might go with what he did to get an addional 4" .
Shackle flip in the rear and a new front hanger and x-member.
Pretty cool set up. he is going to run 54" tires on his 73 K5.
But for now i think that I will just stuff some 39 Boggers under mine, cut and turn the front axle and rotate the rear.
It won't cost me a dime to cut and turn as I will be doing it myself.
Tomorrow I am ordering a Detroit for the rear, Hot damn I love tax time.

Naw with the area I am in a low lift and big tires is gonna leave ya stranded.
I have seen my boss with his 72K5 , 11" lift and 39.5's up to the windshield in a hole.
That thing is like a freakin tank.
All you can see is the tires boiling away under the goo until it comes out the other side.
He is running 1/2 ton gear too. He has a set of 1 ton 4:56 axles but he sees no need to put them on.
He has been running around like that for a few years now.
But that rig is just a thrasher, he has another 72 and a 69.
I'll have to build up another rig for regular wheelin like TSF and sand lake though.
For those areas an 8" lift is just gonna be trouble.
Roll overs look cool on vidio, I just don't want to be the lead character.
