1979 International Scout II

Thanks for the tips, I did have a question about the Rough Country 4 inch lift. I live chatted with a rep from RC and the springs they gave me are shorter from eye to eye than the stock springs I currently had on them by 4 inches. He gave me the specs of the RC spring and they only had 4 leaves but the pictures they had showed 6 or 7 for the front spring. A little confusing, maybe the older versions had more springs and the reason why some reviews complained about the stiffer ride? Do you know if the older version of the RC springs had more springs or where I can find that information? I looked in the suspension thread but could not find anything on the subject. The picture I am attaching is what I am shooting for.

That scout happens to be one that I built a while ago. It does not have rc springs.

It has bds 6 inch lift springs off a 1990s 52 inch long Chevy springs from the front. and 63 inch long 2002 Chevy 1 ton rear spring with the thick overload spring removed. For the rear spring on that scout

Axles were 8 lug full width Chevy 3/4 ton. Which had Dana 44 front and full float 14 bolt rear.
