Yes this has been covered many times, but I have not found what I am looking for.
Have a 72 J4700 with plans on running 5.7 eagle head hemi, NV4500, and NP205. The wife and I want to keep this thing as stock looking as possible with the exception to the modern drive train.
I want to swap out the front axle to a dodge 44 and move the front springs under the frame. I have found 5, 6, and 7 leaf packs that are OEM to 76+. If I move these under the frame, how much lift can I expect? The front sits pretty low due to the worn out post mount stock springs, guessing 3". I am just worried that it will lift it way high but maybe I am over thinking things. Plans for the rear springs are to have them rebuild and keep them.
Any advise on what rate springs to use would be much appreciated. Plans for the the truck are a daily driver with towing capabilities.
