    Front spring swap question...

    I have read when doing the "poor mans" 4 inch lift, in addition to the shackle flip, you need to install a set of M1009 rear springs on the front axle. The question I have is do the have to be CUCV rear springs? Can they be the rear springs out of a civy blazer?

    80 in an M1009 too much?

    There would be no way in **** I would run a M1009 at 70+ mph... The key to making the 6.2 last is keeping the RPM's low... If you want to cruise at 70+, put a 700r4 in your truck... 65 max on the interstate and 60mph on other highways... I would like to not have to replace a motor anytime soon.
