Check the cucv parts sites. It seems as though I remember seeing one not too long ago.

so I had an old and aged rough country 4" lift (spring up front and blocks in rear) on it before I went ORD. so that's what I'm comparing it against. I chose to go springs in the rear with a shackle flip for a couple reasons.

1. Stephen Watson at ORD said I should. and he knows square bodies lol
2. my springs were clapped out
3. I wanted 6" of lift. shackle flip is 3" and the ORD springs are 3"

they ride a million times better than my old setup. they soak up bumps like a caddy. I have not gone wheeling with them yet (I just got them installed yesterday). so I cant comment on flexing...but I suspect they will out flex anything I have had. ORD claims 14" of travel

they are 10 thin leafs in the pack as opposed to 3 thick leafs. so far I am incredibly impressed with them.

I am running tuff country 9000 shocks.

I did not move my front axle forward. the new spring packs pin is moved to the recommended spot which does appear to have moved the axle forward between 1-2". I did buy there offset plate and may install it in the rear so I can slide the axle back 1". but I wont be doing that until I get my driveshaft lengthened.

all in all it was expensive. very expensive. but I'm glad I went with there springs. I wouldn't do it any other way now that I drank the kool-aid

Nice report!
Expensive...? Well that's relative. See what a set of rear leaf springs cost for a 2016 GM one ton...

That's gotta be the nicest K5 I've seen on this forum.
Makes me wanna go get me one lol.

I will have to do that

Just make sure you have 5 to 7 Ben Franklins in your wallet and a little grease for your bunghole unless your tough like Chuck Norris and can take it dry.

Thank you man. That means a lot to me. I have worked really hard on it over the last three years and have done all the labor on it. So a compliment like that means the world.

Thank you brother. Relative indeed. I’m glad I’m not pricing out new truck parts. My wallet hurts enough on a 35 year old one lol.

The interior space is important to me, my wife hauls our 5 kids around in the Burb everyday. The whole family could fit in the crew cab until 2.5 months ago. And well, it's been a while since the whole family could fit in the Blazer.

I bought my 94 burb cheap and only because i needed a truck asap. I had no need for all that space but i would never get rid of it now. I used it as a pick up and it went wherever i put it. Contrary to popular believe theyre really not big. (Only the turning radius)

hue/saturation adjustments on photoshop. there are all kinds of filters and adjustments. there is even an option to add brush strokes to literally make a picture look like an oil painting.

it is a really nice truck though.
