i have a 76 blazer with a 4 inch lift, 35s and 3/4 ton running gear, bad part is that the front springs are sagging, alot.lift has been in since 97 and its seen a lot of trail time. is there any way to put the spring back in her step without forking over $ for new springs? iv put the jack under the front bumper and let them sag overnight but that only seems to help for an hour or two on the trail

You can have them re-arched if you can find a place that does that sort of thing. I wanted to go this route but couldnt find a place that would do it, I didn't look real hard though.

you could add a leaf so they wont sag as much, but then you would lose some flex as well

yeah she doesnt have much flex to spare, the rollcage stiffened up the frame a lot, she'll barely flex enough to climb a 38 inch super swamper with all 4 tires touching, it used to do 44s before the cage, but iv lost so much approach from the sagging that i cant even do some trails anymore. is there a way thatd be free?
