The worst thing You could ever do ...
Might as well weld blocks from the frame to the axles

just save a little more $$$$

swap the rear springs to the front=free
get chevy springs for the rear=less than $300.00
for 3" of smooth riding lift

How to:

88-98 i think. you will have to move your front hanger forward 11 inches, and your rear hanger back 4 inches. i did it, and i'm glad i did. you'll like them if you decide to go with them.
