When I get some tax money back I'm gonna put new springs and maybe some fender flares on my 79 RC, NP203, NP435.
I run 33x12.50 BFG AT's and the front tires rub when it's turned in a bind. I've got 2" blocks in the front (yeah, I know that's bad) and 3 3/8" blocks in the rear. It sits pretty level, the front sits just barely higher than the rear. My front springs have a slight negative arch but the rear springs have a pretty good positive arch with a little sag from age I'm sure. It doesn't take much to make the front springs bottom out on the stoppers (I'm talking like a 4" pot hole and they'll bottom out)
I want a lift that's as painless as possible, without having to do a steering block or any major adjustments due to increased angles. If I can keep the tires from rubbing and the front from bottoming out I'll be happy. What's the best lift I can get to fit my needs? The truck rarely sees much trail (but some) and is mostly a pavement pounder in the winter.
I'm hoping that a 4" lift kit will be all I need.
And I like those flares that are on Sam's RC...but those cut outs on Rocky Mountain's website sure are expensive...
Oh and does anyone know where to get the whole swaybar link for a 79?
