To put a set of rear springs under the front of one of our 4x4 trucks.
What does it take?

If they are the same length then they will bolt in. Not sure how much lift they will give but you will have to get a pitman arm to compensate if its too much. Why rear leafs?
because they ride alot better than stock.
it would take a shackle reversal kit at least. i have them and they are nice.

Typically rear leaf packs are longer and ride better. They need to be bastardized by removing/adding leaves to get them where you want, but it's a fairly common thing people do.

I have rears in the front of my 92 f250 with a shackel reversal. They are set up to provide about 7-8 inches of lift. They ride better then any aftermarket lift spring that im aware of. It rides much better then stock

it is for when you have a 60 front
stock rears with a shackle reversal gives you 8" lift, and a pimpass ride.

You aren't gonna lift a TTB for free unless you find someone who gives you all of the parts to do it.

first thought would be the dumpster
second thought would be to save up for a 60
I actually like my TTB just fine, im sure a D60 is alot tougher and better for wheeling but i aint never had a problem and i get in some bad **** sometimes, but i also know when enough is enough if it ever starts hoping or the wheels trying to go side to side then i push the clutch in, cause im cant afford to break it

Could someone provide a link to a shackle reversal kit? I believe I researched them in the past but cant remember the prices. Votee, do you think you could take pics of your springs?

Going to keep my eye on this cause 6-8" of lift is what I am after. What all needs to be done with the steering? Pitman arm? Track bar bracket?
