71 k20 front spring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going from a 400ci small block to a 427BB in my 71 k20. I have the camelback springs. What are my options for the added weight and maybe 2" lift.

I am looking at the diy shackle swap 4" for the rear since my new springs are 54".

Thanks,

Doug

I would check out tuff country. They make 2" lift springs in 2 spring rates, EZ-ride and heavy duty. The ez-rides are 3 leaf and the heavy duty springs are 4 leaf. Hope that helps. I'll also add that i have the 4" ez-rides on the front of my truck, and they ride great, fit great, and they're really well made springs. I got them from www.suspensionconnection.com
