Just after some advise, i have a complete stock 84 sierra with orig spring & shocks. I don't care about the clearence i just want extra wheel travel and articulation, any suggestions on the best setup from here on.
Someone on this forum is selling a suziwest 2" kit with new leafs & shocks, this sounds like a good option but them some people say the a spring over using the orig springs works better. PLEASE HELP.

spring over is the way to go
it will take a fair bit more to setup PROPERLY then to bolt in 2 inch lift springs
but the benifits will make the extra work worth it

INFO WE NEED TO HELP YOU:
1. What terrain do you prefer? sand, rock, mud? everything?
2. Is it a daily driver (ie, work and back etc)
3. Is legality an issue?
4. How much do you have to spend?
if its just articulation and nothing more, grab some climax shackles =)

here's a link for climax.
there are other types and brands also.

if you are after flex/articulation, and are going SPOA, then you might have to look into a track bar to stop wrap, and also consider the pinion angles.
