Re: 6" Lift on a 1980 k20 HELP

That's a sweet truck!! If just an inch will do you, zero-rates would be a simple fix. A 6" lift requires the same steering correction parts as a 4" (steering arm). If the P.O. did the 4" right, you are good to go up to 6". I have the same deal on my '85 Jimmy (35/12.50s,10" wheels,4" lift) and I can drive it w/o rubbing, just have to be aware and careful. 8" wheels would make it all work fine
