Chevy/GMC Suspension Lift Kits
67-72 Chevy Pickup, Suburban; 69-72 Blazer, Jimmy
To correctly lift a solid axle General
Motors vehicle, it is important to achieve the correct drag
link angle. Most vehicles can be lifted 2" and maintain
the correct angle. Lifts over 2" increase the distance
between the link’s two attaching points causing the
vehicle to "wander". These adverse angles also can
cause premature wear on other steering components shortening
their life expectancy.
There are several options for
correcting this
angle, however, they all require an open knuckle, 3-bolt steering box. Prior
to 1973, most vehicles are not so equipped. The best option
is to upgrade the steering box to a 1973 style open knuckle type in
order for the various dropped steering components to fit. No
steering correction is made for the earlier version steering box.
Once updated, the options for
steering correction include steering arm, pitman arm, adjustable
drag link or steering blocks.

SKYJACKERŽ
has developed and engineered SOFTRIDEŽ technology leaf springs
for the earlier generation of Chevy and GMC vehicles (1967-87). The
SOFTRIDE technology produces the highest quality of leaf spring
systems the industry has ever known. Softride
springs manufactured by Skyjacker use
tapered leaves to yield a lower spring rate and better
travel, Teflon wear pads to help reduce interleaf
friction, a "bolt" style clip to reduce leaf
friction and shotpeening to compress the steel and
increase its tensile strength. The following shows Kits
using a rear block and/or add-a-leaf to accomplish the
rear lift and Systems using rear leaf springs.
Steering arm recommended for lifts 4" and higher. Must have open
knuckle, 3-bolt steering box.
Shocks
& steering correction purchased separately. Sway bar lowering kit may be needed for 6" & 8" lifts.

These lifts include Superlift Standard springs. These yield a ride firmer than
stock springs. These should be chosen for moderate to
heavy-duty use when a winch, big block or diesel power
plant is present, or if your rig is used for hauling or towing.
Kit uses rear blocks and/or
add-a-leaf. Systems use either 52" or 56" rear leaf springs.
