I wouldn't do the whole shackle flip thing if you plan to use your truck for work purposes/hauling and towing to much. More for off road. With that being said the rear springs on these trucks are stiff. I count 11 in my packs. I can't wait to replace my rear packs also, something with less...

Thanks buddy. Not hard at all, removing 30 years bolts was tough as expected. I also replaced the 3 U-bolts, passenger side bolts, spring plates and installed a sway bar quick release/2" relocation kit. It is definitely taller. I do not care for the the body lift, but it was necessary. Sent...

That before picture is with the cab lifted 1" already. Since then she has became my daily driver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Copy that Before After Mods are 1" body and bed lift. 1" zero rates front and rear. Front 2.5" lift spring with ORD 4.5" shackles up front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before After Sorry so long Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've successfully installed the new 2.5" lift springs with zero rates and Off road design 4.5"HD shackles I took before pictures, I'll get some after pics tomorrow and post the results

Nice, those are the ones

Yes that's a great idea. Next time the Suns out, and there is no snow, I will takes pics before and after

Yes I agree, Sally is a fat girl and she is a m1028, not that it makes a difference. That's part of the reason why I was leaning towards the 4 leaf replacement spring for the higher capacity. With that being said, the superstiffs are cheaper than stock 3 and or 4 leafs. Getting her leveled out...

ORD's front shackles are 4.5" long from bolt center to bolt center. That's 1/2" longer than stock

No biggie, I'll spell things out in the title or 1st post. I'm not new to forums, just thought someone was nitpicking. All is well, cheers

Well scratch that, I did just find superlift 2.5" lift springs for under $200. But I have read bad reviews about the ride quality. Can anyone here confirm this? I've never owned anything by superlift my self

Thanks for you input. With the weight of the diesel I really wasn't sure if it would be worth it. I wish I could find 2" lift springs for $200 I'd rather go that route. I have found stock 3 and 4 leaf replacement springs for just over $200. I was thinking about going with the 4 leaf, 1900#...

"AAL" is not self made. Of course I don't want confuse anyone. It's a well now abbreviation in the 4x4 world. I did not realize Google would not pick up on it unless you use it in a phrase. But thanks, I understand.

Well as obvious as it is, it has nothing to do with American Air Lines. Let's not be silly here. "Sky Jacker" Add A Leaves "AAL's" But I'm sure everyone already knows that. And I'm not sure how you could get an air line mixed up with sagging front springs on a 1980's Chevy truck either. Simple...

Clarify what? That's pretty darn clear.

Hey guys, it just so happens I have brand new Sky jacker long aal's laying around since I fist bought my truck. She's sagging so bad in the front the shackles rest on the frame. My question is, will these aal's and a new "ORD" shackle kit restore and level my truck?
