suspension advice
so as the idiot i am i totally forgot about the suspension section of the forum and just placed this under general help in the k5 section. sorry for re posting but ill word it a little different this time
so the front leaf springs on my 74 k5 are negative arched. but have blocks in them so the front is higher than the rear.... it looks rediculious. im trying to figure out if i should just
A) yank some lifted front leafs off of a newer k5 or whatever it is (its a pickup with the same engine and stuff. looks the same too) and put them on there and take the blocks off
B) get some add a leafs and put them on there and see if that straightens them out.
or C) wait till tax season and get a whole new lift kit. im thinking the superlift 6in front 5in rear. comes with shocks and everything for around 670.
i forgot to mention that the back also has lift blocks in it that looks to be the same size as the front. ill see if i can take pics of just the suspension and throw them up on here but for now this will have to do. you can still see the negative arched spring up front...
