Alright just Dropped some Cash for a Superlift 6 in lift for my 1992 Bronco. Now it didn't come with leaf springs instead it came with blocks but looking at my truck verses others that i have seen im noticing mine as really sagging in the back. So i was wondering if it is because my Leaf springs are just wornout and if i should replace them? Another Question guys the broncograveyard sales the stock springs for mine for around 190 + shipping now should i Just get thoes replace them for mine and add the blocks back on there or the graveyard also sales the leaf springs for a 6in lift now would that work for me if i ordered the new set of leafsprings and put thoes on with no blocks or should i just replace my saggy leaf springs with some stock ones and keep the blocks??? well guys i could really use the help please hit me back as soon as you can i need to redeem my bronco.

Thanx guys

The stock replacement springs should fit just fine but, even though it will cost more, I would get the 6" lift springs. Of course thats just my personal opinion and odds are you will probably not have problems with the blocks. I for one will never use blocks again. Click here to see why.

Edit:

By the way, how long has the lift been on? Your new front springs will settle a bit after a couple hundred miles. Also if you have not got the alignment redone since your lift was installed, that could also make it sit a little higher in the front. In other words, too much "toe-in" making the wheels try to get closer together and making the suspension shift upward. By pulling the steering linkage a bit upwards to connect to the raised position of the pitman arm, you will induce "toe-in". (Even with a drop pitman arm, the position may not be exactly where it was before the lift)

Bulldog, in the past I would have said go ahead with the new lifted spring packs, but recenlty did the shaclke flip on my 84 Bronco. Look for the kit from Sky MFg which will flip the shackles on your rear springs and give you about 4-5" lift, and you can remove the big blocks. JSM84

I second what justshootme is recommending. Its cost effective and works! If anything go with the 6in lift leafs vs. the stock leafs and blocks. Just try to avoid the blocks. Also if you do the shackle flip go with some new beefy shackles, the stock ones might bend and stuff if you get to agressive.
