My truck (pictured) has a 4" spring lift from Superspring. To get the spring lift in the rear I had to go with the 52" springs and more the hangers. I didn't want to go with the block lift because ther rear springs were shot anyway. You will also have to shim the 52" spings because they are 2.5" wind instead of the 3" wide 67-68 units. Better yet use the ahngers off your newer frame.
I hope to get the ugly frame out from under mine this spring and get a nice set of 33" tires also. The ones pictured are 31x10.50s just for comparison reasons.
PS I remember talking to Lou. What kind of shape was that cab in? For sale?
I got my new frame for Lou's buddy Ken. From the sounds of it Lou and Ken have swapped a lot of parts and stories in the past. Both NY boys.
