why 56 and not the 52s?
IMO the 56 swap you have your springs sticking way farther forward out.

I don't really want to have to relocate the hole in the frame for the rear mount, that's why I was going to go 56s... Will I still have to move it regardless of 52 or 56?

Thanks again for the starters, I installed one on Sunday and the truck fired right up. :thumb:

I think there was one person that did a right up on ck5 about the 56s. IIRC he still had to move it. Why dont you want to move it? Time and too much work? With the body off it should be cake.

Yeah but I'm lazy. :flipoff2: Besides, everyone wants a few extra inches, right? :blink:

So yeah, I already have a couple sets of 52s, but I would still like to get my grubby mitts on a set of 56s just so I can play around see what I can see. Like you said, with the body off it will be easy. :beer:

I figure with the 63s on the rear and 52s or 56s on the front, I should be good on the flex front. And if not, at least I will have severe axlewrap. :flipoff2:

I think the biggest reason for the 56's over the 52's is that yu dont have to move the shackle. Move the front mount just the same and add a ~7" shackle and its set up.

That's pretty much how I was thinking it would work. :beer:

My truck with 52's and 63's is with in 5 or so inches of flex compaired to Kevins coil overs and link setup.
