okay i have a 1984 chevy k20, bought it off a guy and everything was already done to it, lifted 6in, but the springs are way to stiff and the truck wont flex, i put 4 rear ends in the bed and the suspension prob went down 1-2 inches maybe, where can i buy a lift kit so i can go wheelin and have some flex

52 inch leaf springs up front, 56 or 63 inch leaf springs out back, shackle flip, good to go, look at my build thread and ask this in the newbie section next time.

You better delete this tread and search this site. These guys here have answered this question a thousand times and they don't want to do it again. If u don't want to be butt hurt I would delete.

Be easier to pull a few leafs outta the pack IMO

pull the bottom two leafs off, turn them over upside down and put them on the top... instant free 6" lift. Fuck these stupid companies that sell stupid nonsense products. Fuck the man.

when you're done, don't forget to drink your victory Big Gulp of Clorox.

now that funny

lift springs suck, they always will be stiff, it's just the nature of the beast. bookmark mine and ragan's build thread, then delete this post before it self destructs in 10 seconds

Wow, at 19, I feel old. I actually got a "married with children" reference.

OP- My feelings still havent changed. GTFO, and have a nice day.
