well today i did acomplish installing a set of chevy front rancho 4" lift spings on my grand wag. the springs are 46" long,bout the same as stock springs. since a stock chevy has the wierd negative arch thing,the 4" spring only lifted the front about 2 inches,and it also moved the axle forward an inch,which should be a good thing,since i have rubbig at the rear of the inner fender at full stuff.

i am also working on using a 56" long chevy rear spring for the rear,will let yall know as soon as i find one to compare...

Cool scotty. Nice to know that thosse springs will fit. Did they bolt right up? or did ya kinda have to force them?

i had to spread the shackles and hangers out just alittle,cause the bushings i used made them alittle fatter,but they more or less bolted right on. cept now my front driveshaft,which was barely long enuff before,isnow too short. it will definately be too short when i replace the 4" springs with tuff country 6" springs.
