Unequal lifts (leveling kits) picture request.
 
Hello everyone,

I am getting ready to order a set of custom springs from ORD in the next couple months for a 72 Jimmy on 35s.

I wanted to ask if people could post up pictures specifically of rigs running more lift in the rear than the front. Preferably on 35s. I am trying to settle on a rear lift height.

The front will be 4".
My choices in the rear are 4-7" roughly, running a shackle flip.

Thank you all for your time, look forward to seeing your rigs.

Are you trying to get a rake? I have ORD going on mine. 3” in front with -1” in rear and 4” shackle flip.

I am trying to get visibly level at the wheel wells, or very slightly raked. Either works.

I just dont like the rear low look that blazers have stock, and with any load at all it makes it even worse.

Right now ORD actually has my invoice as 3” front w/ 4” shackle flip & -1” springs in the rear just like you. But being that ORD suspension is expensive I want to get it perfect, so I am looking at different rear total lift amounts.

I have 1ton axles which give roughly an extra inch right out the gate for 4” total.

I’ve only installed my 31s on the front and am buying 33s. The springs and difs are in. I’m rebuilding the rear brakes and should have my wheels on in a couple weeks. ORD sells 1” no rates to throw in too. You could keep that in mind if one end sits a little high.
Here’s a before and after. The rear is on jack stands.
