Oct 20 2011, Sky Manufacturing releases our 2.5 inch lift Chevy/GMC Solid Axle Conversion leaf hanger kit.
Kit will fit Chevy Dana 44 or Dana 60 axles, with a 31.5 spring center pin measurement, 78-79 Ford Dana 44 or Dana 60 with a 31.5 spring center pin.
Corp 10 bolt will also work, steering knuckles will need to be replaced with Reid racing 4 stud knuckles to install needed crossover conversion.
This kit DOES NOT fit Ford 36.5 spring perch width axles, 80-97 years!
Kit is only available currently for 39.5 wide frames, 88-97 Chevy/Gmc all models 2 and 4 wd.
Kit with stock springs will provide 2.5-3 inch lift depending on motor combo and springs used. We highly recommend at least a 4 inch lift for oil pan, drive line, and exhaust clearance. Exhaust modifications may be needed.
Hangers can be pushed forward and back to stretch spring length needed to run 52 inch rear springs. Sky Manufacturing has not pursued this conversion, and has little other information as to what is involved. General concept is to determine spring pin center line based off factory front 47 inch springs and move hangers forward and rearward as needed.
Front hanger allows for up to a 4 inch diameter spring with same size bushings. Rear shackles will accept a 2.5 diameter spring with a 2 inch diameter bushing
Kit is based on 73-87 Chevy front leaf springs with a 3 3/4 wide over all width. Some aftermarket springs are narrower and will require a spacer of some variety to make fit correctly.
Kit includes front solid axle leaf hanger, rear shackles, rear shackle hangers, bushings for shackles, hardware to bolt springs to hangers, and shackles to shackle hangers.
Kit is a weld on kit, though some customers have drilled the hangers and made them bolt on. This is not recommended by Sky Manufacturing.
