Curious about the original stance on a 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive.....the current setup I inherited from the prior owner has a 1" block on the front and a 6" block in rear....pics attached....would like to return more to original....any pics/experience out there? Keeping in mind the current Short wheel base.
Thank you! |

Here's a factory pic from 62, it's not the greatest since it shows the suspension articulating.

The folks on this board are incredible. Thanks so much for the pic. It looks like the stance is pretty much the same as my current truck.

It does look close but I think your may have 2-3 more inches of height.

I've always read that front lift blocks are not a good idea. They typically have more stresses from turning and are more prone to loosening, And all kinds of bad things happen if they fall out.
Plus I like trucks with a little Rake to them, a little higher in back than in the front. Then if you haul something the truck levels out. Nothing worse in my opinion than a truck with it's tail sagging or dragging. My truck is not a GMC but is a stock 3/4 ton 4wd long box, 8 ft., rear sits about 4-5 inches higher than the front. It takes over a Ton sitting on the back half of the box to get it sitting level. I does have over-load springs, an extra short spring on top of the normal 4-5 leaf pack that catch "L" shaped spring perches. With your short box the rear about 3 inches higher would look nice. I still like that Orange paint! And the clearance lights! |
