Re: Lift kits for K30? (spring widths)

I hate the quality of the lift kit supplied u-bolts from about every kit I have ever used . I don't know why they give us such cheep crap .....

I get my ubolts from these guys for mail order . http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/

if doing a 2-3" lift no steering correction should be required so skip a drop pitman arm or raised steering arm / or block . and the dana 60 blocks suck also . never seem to stay tight .

call the guys at ord if you want a 1 stop shop of quality parts and a kit made for the 1ton over figuring it out your self . http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog.htm

and here is my current build up project . 3" tuff country hd fronts in a k30 . has baby tires for shop roller use for now. 454bbc/4l80-e/203-205 doubler/fisher plow frame few lbs extra on the front . and I did a 3" block in the back on 22-547 springs from light duty 3/4 ton for better ride . http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index....20group%20%231 and firestone airbag kit for the extra when I need it.
