hi i ave a 1999 blazer ls with a snowplow on it,i will like to know if some one makes a heavy duty front coil springs,when i lift my plow the front is lowering too much,please any help,my springs are tired and i would like to replace them with heavy duty coil springs

 

Considering that you do not have coil springs up front, adding heavy duty coil springs would be a feat.

You could tighten the torsion bar while you have the plow on and then loosen it back up when you take the plow off. This works quite well for my dad's '04 2500HD.

If you wanted to swap out the torsion bars, there were a few different front torsion bars available as a direct swap into the s-series front suspension. Just have a read through the following thread: How-To: T-bar Crank I just put that information is at the bottom of the article.

 

thanks i will try it tomorow,i only need about 1 inch to 1 1/2,

 

Not to sound stupid but is your truck 4wd or 2wd. I figure since it has a plow its a 4x but you had no specs on your truck and if its a 2wd then you have coil springs up front and thats a horse of a different color. I hope I did not offend you with my question.

 

its a 4x4 99 blaser ls with 192000km on it,but still runs like new after 10 years of nice riding,i was suppose to sell it but decided to keep it,what a truck,very strong ,i instal a plow on it because just bought a new house with a huge driveway ,it was that or the snow blower,my neibours love the fact that i clean there snow for some spare change,im not in the businesse only personal use.

 

OK like SWARTLIKK said its the easiest and cheapest way to go and when you take the plow off you can easily lower it back down.Good luck.

 

ok guy's this is what i did,raise up the front end with the torsion bars 2 turns,replace front shocks with monroe reflex to give it a stiffer ride,and im now waiting for the delivery on a new kit of timbren #gmfs10 to help with the bouncing up and down,thanks alot guy's for your help,i will try the truck and post some results

 

my set up work just fine,the front end is suporting the weight,now got a new problem when its cold the reverse takes time to engage,will replace oil and filter

 

I've had the same problem when it's colder. Nothing huge, maybe a second, but it looks funny in the parking lot with a little rev and then spinning tires. Let me know if that helps.
