Leaf Spring Questions
 

I have some questions I hope someone can answer for me. First I would like to start by asking where can I get a good set of leaf springs? Will/can the leaf springs add height? I know that since my blazer is now sagging the new ones will and some height but can they add 2,3, or even 4 inches to the height. One thing I do still want is a semi comfortable ride, I do not want a stiff ride. Is there also any other parts I should invest in when doing the leaf springs? Bolts, clamps, etc.??

Another question I have is when I replace the leaf springs how do I check if the blazer levels out? Does this mean by visually seeing if it does, or by other means?

Last question, I saw somewhere that a shackle can add height? Is this true/ what exactly is a shackle?

If this makes a difference I am replacing my currently almost decimated shocks with new Rancho RS9000XL shocks, and money is not a factor for this leaf spring project.

Thank you in advance!

Leafs can add height, depends on which ones you get. I'd invest in all new mounting hardware. Shackles can add lift, if you get longer shackles. You'd have to crank your torsion bars to get the front end the same height.

Go with longer shackles for mild lift, they will ride better then higher arched springs

I was possibly thinking about getting a body lift, is this a good way to add height? Or should I do a suspension life?

How high do you want to go? You could always do both.

2 inch possibly 3 inch, you know any good kits? The last thing I want to do is crank the tbar up 2 inches if I don't have to.
Thank you.
