sas question

[booger1]

I am going to order a sky manufactoring sas kit when I have enough money later this summer.  I am wanting to do a chevy rear spring swap and put the rears up front.  how much lift will the chevy springs give stock?  how much lift will the rears up front give stock.  how do yall think I should do this?

There is no correct answer for your questions.
The rear packs depend on which springs you use (pre 83 or 84+).
The chevy's depend on how worn in they are.
My chevy's gave me 3/4" lift total with a low profile custom hanger.
My rears will probably give me a bit more than that.

It really depends on how you set it up, and how worn your springs are, and how many leafs you use, and if you use the overload leaf, and your hanger height, and if you are using a drop hanger, and, and, and, and, and, and.....

what do I have to do to get a 3-4 inch lift?

what do I have to do to get a 3-4 inch lift?

What are you trying to fit under your truck? 35's, 37's?
How good are you with welding and fabrication?

I already have 33's and a 3 inch body lift.  I am going to keep the body lift on it.  later after I get the suspension figured out I am going to put 35x14 boggers on it.  I don't have a welder, but I was going to pay someone to weld the sas hanger on and the other mounts. I was thinking something like adding leafs or a add a leaf for lift.

If I were you I would buy a kit.

I just helped a friend install Marlin's SAS kit.  Comes with everything you need and it all bolted right up.  Worth every penny, although they weren't my pennies.
