Ok well i know this subject has been done to death and yes i searched it and now have a sore head:banghead: i wanna soften up the rear of my j20. So i am doing my own shackle flip but what springs should i use? my original j20 ones are done and was thinking of using waggies but was open to other options........
Thanks Brian

Just get some 1/2-ton suburban springs. You may end up having to move your mount points forward or backward but they're easy to find and known to work well off road.

J10/Waggy/ or Chevy 63" springs pretty much covers what has been done. Not much else to add really :rolleyes:

Could run bigger tires aired down for off road, or pull leaves out of your spring pack.

Depends on how Fussy you are I guess. I had to have the wheel centered in the wheel well............So I had to move both hangers. If you can live with the wheels off center in the wheel well then yea you can just move one of the hangers. I pulled my 63" springs from an early 90's Chevy 1/2 ton, Burbs would also be another source
