Never heard about this. Seems pretty interesting, looking forward to seeing this play out.

so many budget ideas to lift the back, yet none for the front.

Ok, so my coils came in last night. So hopefully we will have time this afternoon to install them! I will get the information up as soon as I can.

I'm at the in laws, so I probably wont get anything up unitl Monday, but FYI it is awesome!

After everything was said and done, my blazer was 2.5" above stock height in the rear. I am extremely pleased with this operation!

My leafs were toast so putting 14" coils basically put me back at stock height plus 2.5". Overall it raised my blazer 6.5", which tells you how back my Blazer was, but you can see that by going to my garage.

Please be patient and I will try to get the information up this weekend or early next week.

for the same price i built a custome leaf pack using my existing spring and a set of Z85 springs (basically and add-a-leaf) combined with a 2 inch lift shackle...

I am interested in how this tunrs out as well.. might be a fun addition to stiffen up the rear end if i ever tow any thing besides a utility trailer...

I will be following this build

good to have new ideas popping up
