the thing is, 4" of lift is all relative. a stock 60-66 k10 sits higher than a stock 67+. And my burb was 2wd converted to 4wd with 69 parts.

Stock 67+ have two leafs, or 3 for "heavy duty", but have a negative arch when loaded. From what i've seen the early 60s springs have a positive arch. i think my 4" lift is more like a 2" lift. Anyway, I'll see if I have a pic.
