89 Marathon Rear Springs and Shock questions..

[RxGuy]

Hey ames...what part of Michigan are you from?

The 14" springs I bought were just right with the 4" lift kit. Stock springs are 10". I did buy the 275lb rate. I put a reat seat on and with that spring there isn't too much sag when you load a couple of extra peeps on the back. Although if I had to do it over, I would probably go with a slightly stiffer spring.

With the 4" economy lift kit, I used the Monroe 32207 shocks on the rear.

With these springs:

For the front shocks I used Monroe 31069 without the shock extenders from the lift kit.. After dropping the axle 4" I had to make my own shock mounting brackets. Worked out pretty well.

That looks awesome on the rear, I know where ai am going to clean up the rear...might have to go a little taller as I have 6" on the front..well done!!

im starting on a badly sagging 85 and want 5 inches or more lift,as in the future it will have a big block..it runs for now and mostly searching for info on the rear marathon set ups..id love to lift it more,like in your pic..im gonna have to get springs anyhow..
i suppose if i lift the rear 6 inches,would i need to make drop down brackets for the swing arm?
you guys see where i will be headed with this build so any info to save me time and stress is much appreciated
