IS it ok to put the leaf springs in back above the axles? to acquire lift??

 

As long as it's done properly, yes.

 

yup, your gonna get about 5" of lift though...thats how the rear is lifted with a 5 or 6" suspension lift.

 

Just curious what you plan to do with the front? SFA or do you really like a steep rake?

 

That would be some serious rake.

 

If this spring over axle conversion was done properly, would you need to install a longer drive shaft or will the slip yoke accommodate the extra travel?

 

you shouldnt have to unless you put in lifting blocks like i did last night to my 97 blazer 4x4. i got about nine inches of lift just by doin a flip an three inch blocks. than the drive shaft fell out so now i have to take the blocks out an see if that will fix my issue for now.

 

i have a 97 blazer 4x4 and i did a flip and block in the rear last night and my drive shaft fell out on the way home. what kind of drive shaft can i put in it from a chevy truck or what???? please help the gf is super mad cause this is also our DD......

 

you can probably call a driveshaft place and they will tell you how to properly measure for a new one. i did a flip and block on my truck and i could swear i ended up using the same driveshaft. BUT i also swapped transfercases so that one may have been a bit longer

 

You could just take the blocks out and put the driveshaft back in if it's usable. Tons of people have a spring-over-axle (without blocks) in the rear without needing a new driveshaft.

Did you lift the front as well or did you just do the flip and blocks in the rear?
