lifting a highboy

I was wondering if anybody knew of any lift over 4 inches. I want to put 52/24.5 tires under it. Would a lift for a 73-76 fit. I plan on using a 2in bodylift but I think I would need at least another 6 or 8in's.

Well, I have a 3" body lift and also a 2" homemade shacle lift. Might be able to go a bit further on the shackle lift. You might need to get your spring re-arched to attain that much lift.

I think Skyjacker makes lift springs that will work. Do a search on their website, or contact them. And yes, I think '73-'76 springs will work.
