I know this should stay in the chevy forum, but I need as many opinions as possible:

I'm currently in the middle of installing a 4 inch lift on my 1990 1/2 ton suburban. The rear went easy as hell, springs fit like a charm with no problems. Front is a different story.

The frint springs are too short (which I've been told is normal for chevy lifts?). I have fabricated some shackle extentions for the front hanger, but would prefer a better way to attach the springs. How can I get the short springs to fit??

Also, is it possible to do this lift without a steering correction, or am I doomed to have shitty steering (I can't turn the wheels to the right, only to the left!!!) without a new arm?

you could pull all the leaves off of the new springs and bolt them to the bottom of your original mainleaf. just a sugestion.

Let me guess, you bought a Superlift kit.

Sell it and buy a Skyjacker.

Yes, you need steering correction.
