Re: 4x4 Suspension Questions

52" springs in the front are mainly for guys offloading. there real weird up front. you get more body roll type action. its been a few years since I've looked into but i believe with a 52" spring up front you have to run cross over steering. it can get real expensive trying to find a flattop knuckle for the passenger side and then getting it milled and tapped. don't quote me on that, like i said its been a few years since I've built a off road rig. if you still go that route, most 1/2 ton chevy rear springs are 52" and you can pick them up from a junkyard at a decent price, just check for cracked or broken leafs. in the rear you can get a shackle flip kit fro odd or diy4x. its a 4 inch lift that keeps your stock rear springs, and no blocks.
