suspension question

[zookster666]

I have a 91 model sierra wide track and it has a half ruf, the suspension is quite sagged and i want to upgrade.

What i am wondering is if i put 2 inch lifted rears in the front what sort of lift do i need to put in the rear to to compensate.

and overall how u much lift will i get in the front

normally stock rear in the front will equal about 2inches of lift so you need 2in lifted rears.


if your putting lifted springs in the front yo will need a yery arched rear than normally have restrictive flex.

I have 3 inch rears in the front of mine with 20mm extended shackles and it gave me about an inch and half extra lift

I was thinking about getting a custom main leaf for the rear made aswell.

so all in all i would need 4 inch lifted rears for the rear with 2 inch lifted rears for the front and it would sit fairly even?

thanks for the help

If you are going for a custom main you could use 2 or 3 inch springs and extended shackles to match the hieght. I've got 3 inch springs and just under 4 inch extended shackles in the rear of mine.
