Bone stock that is 33 years old is not going to get you accurate info. I have seen a post or two that says 6" but I/they think its 4" because it has a 4" block (total close to 6" lift). Well 4" is pushing it for a block height, so they usually do 2" spring and 4" block. As for being accurate, lift kits are said to be +/- 6" as trucks weigh different, settle etc (I6 vs SBC vs BBC). What is the "reason" you "need" to know if it is 4" or 6"? If the tires fit etc without rub why are the numbers important? I am just curious, I have a "Bone Stock" Blazer, except the tire size, so my measurements might not help.
