I have a few questions for the experts. What stock application, or what can I look for to upgrade my stock leaf springs. I want to do a 4 inch lift spring kit. Any ideas were I can look?

I have to measure the width of .your current pack and do the eye to eye measuremental as well

this is on my 1973 travellette 1110

For the front suspension these are the front hangers that you need - CPT - Crawler Proven Technology GM spring hanger to IH pickup or Travelall That will install these GM lift springs - Rough Country 1973-87 front GM lift leafsprings. The shackle hanger bushings will need to be somewhat custom(we take GM bushings and sand them down to fit) and install a pair of CPT shackles. Depending on how sagged out your springs are will dictate how much actual lift you will gain with either of the three spring lift choices.

For the rear suspension, GM lift springs with IH bushings can be used but the centerpin location is slightly forward of the original IH springs so either live with the look of it or change out the spring perch's to the three hole style so that the axle can be moved forward an inch. Other option is to add either a taller lift block, add in an add-a-leaf or do both.

See this build for more information on the suspension.
