OK, I have asked this before but got some vague answers.
I really want to put a suspension lift on my truck, about 3 inches or so.
Why do you need to put on brand new leaf springs up front? Why can't you just put a block between the springs and the block that goes against the top of the axle?
Someone told me because it will slide... but what if you weld it or make up some kind of clever holding device? All you would have to do is fashion the block, and get some longer shocks and U-bolts... you don't have to mess with anything else for 3 inches do you?
I know you can put blocks on the back, so I don't see why you can't do the same on the front?
All the lift kits I have seen for the 93 is just some new leaf springs, U bolts and some blocks for the back.
