uppy.... My springs are 2" and i was asking $50.....the lot.....
I would'nt bother with extractors....
The whole job would take 4 hours at the most but you will need a pair of spring compressors.......
The front is 3/4's of the work and the rear is easy peasy.......___________________________________

you dont need a spring compressor, undo the sway bar and shockies put the chassis on stands and lower diff to the ground and simply pull old springs out and fit new ones, the front springs are marked right and left for the camber of the road so watch for that. Col

Truckster has made a good offer of the rear springs.........As Colin said you may not need the compressors but they are not a bad security blanket.... The compressors cost about $20 and
the springs are looking cheaper all the time...___________________________________

I've got the same vehicle with 2inch lift and extractors. Would not bother with the extractors unless the manifold is busted which was my case(
well the flange where it joins with the main pipe....
agree with above statement re
suspension. why waste your time/money with 1" lift....

I also had extractors and wouldnt bother wasting the coin...
As others have said, dont bother with 1 inch lift not worth the $..
Then again if your
suspension is stock and shagged, replacing with STOCK
suspension height will give you more than 1inch lift due to sag...

uppy,
sorry long time to reply have been out of town. I have a 94 Rx dual fuel 190K on the clock.
No major faults to date:
front drivers side wheel bearing totally buggered
passenger side rear axle seal fixed three times
truck has developed a clunking noise from the front somewhere which I suspect is the body mounts or front trailing arm bushes going on discussions on this
forum.
