I'm trying to figure out a cheap front spring for the project I'm starting(77 3/4 Chevy with1937 cab) The reason Iask about the 91 rears is cause i had heard they flex really well also i looked at my brothers truck and it appears that the distance from the axle to the front mount is much shorter, meaning i could get a better front departue angle.
What do you guys think?

Also with this set what do you think about a shackle reversal to put them in front then run a dual shackle set up in front?

Thanks alot, I appreciate it.

what kind of engine are you using?

i don't think they would be strong enough to support your chevy. i gonna use them on the front of my toyota though. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I'm Going to be using a 292 inline six,(cause alot of torque and it was free), if i put an add a leaf on there as well would it support it and still flex well?

Thanks Robert <><

I wouldnt trust the thin toyota leafs with all that weight. Maybe some ford rear springs, they also have offset center pins for the effect your looking for.

Do the fords, you're talking about have good flex? if so what truck and years?

thanks Robert <><

Well I know your looking for used but the best set up we are finding for K5's is the 4 inch EZ rides ($200) for the front and late 80's factory springs for the rear with a Shackle flip. Depdog rocks off something like a 980 on a 25 deg ramp with that set up.

I testdrove a chevy once that had 4 inch rancho softrides on the front. It road like a caddy, must have flexed very nice too. For the price, I wouldn't sit in a mudpuddle in a junkyard yanking on rusted ubolts, I would just buy some new ones.
