Whats the best way (cheapest way) to lift the m715 . put the front diff. below the leaf springs ,add a 4" block to the rear and longer brake hoses? Do you need to get a different pitman arm ? thanks.

If you do the spring over in the front, it will pick up in the 5.5 to 6 inch range.
Then do a shackle flip in the rear and the truck will sit level again.
No need for block. You WILL need longer brake hoses though...

You can cut the brake hose mounts off the frame and reweld them lower too......Just be sure there is enough slack for full droop!

So you flip the rear spring shackle. but do you turn rear spring front pivot mount around also , cut big rivots and turn around???
Grand Poobah
Yeah you do cut the rivets, including the one on the backside of the pin, and flip it.
