Leaf spring interchangeability
 
I have a 72 gmc jimmy trying to find 1/2 ton leaf springs shackles and leaf spring frame mounts. Are the later model Silverado 1500 4x4 shortness interchangeable

Not positive but I think later models are different. What are you dealing with, if you could post photo's. My 72 Blazer 2 leaf springs were nearly flat, spring shackles in front are integrated with radiator support.

I am keeping my fronts to lower the truck back down in my old age. They are nearly flat even when removed.

You have got some monster plates for that lift kit, is it all removable?

How soon do you need the stuff I have a blazer I will be cutting apart but need to keep it moveable right now.

What's your plans for the stuff your taking off I can bolt it on to keep it moveable?

Sounds like 1 Rippen 6 has got what you need, I have complete 72 4x4 drive train from 2wd conversion, I would rather sell the whole lot together.

Re: Leaf spring interchangeability
 
The thing is it's my daily driver so I can't take the parts off and ship them to u sorry wish I could but I do desperately need some stock stuff it looks freaking ridiculous with 30" tires on it lol but whenever u get a chance to take ur stock stuff off I would be interested in buying it il be listing my lift kit stuff on here as soon as it comes off when I get stock stuff to put on

Re: Leaf spring interchangeability
 
If someone wants to swap my stuff for stock suspension and can ship there stuff first they can have it as I have no use for this lift kit

gmc1971harwich 05-09-2017 01:05 PM

Re: Leaf spring interchangeability
 
I would def give my stuff to u if u could ship ur stuff first I will pay to ship my stuff to u in the same box or boxes

gmc1971harwich 05-09-2017 01:06 PM

Re: Leaf spring interchangeability

Re: Leaf spring interchangeability

This is a pic of my front suspension if u want to swap I will give u the high steer setup cause I don't think I can use it with stock suspension

B-50, Shackle flip, lift springs and cross over steering for stock suspension? Very very tempting considering i plan to lift mine... how do the shocks look?

gmc1971harwich 05-16-2017 09:48 PM

Re: Leaf spring interchangeability
 
Haven't taken the shocks off but I did get a hold of some stock frame mounts and just ordered some tuff country ez ride springs so this stuff will be for sale on here soon
