How much lift do I need?
My dream truck is a 1972 Chevy 4x4. I want to run Toyo Open Country A/T's on it. The size I want to use is LT315/75R16. It is supposed to be about 35"x12.5"x16". I think they actually measure 34.57" diameter. I do not want to trim the fenders at all. Can I get by with a 4" lift, or do I need to just go ahead and get a 6" lift? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks a lot y'all! I will get a six inch lift if I go with those tires. I've been considering using the LT295/75R16's instead. They're only 33.3" so if I get them I'll use 4" of lift. Can't make up my mind yet. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I don't even own the truck yet, so you should probably sell those springs to someone else. Thanks anyway though!

Very close to my set-up, my Blazer has a 4/6 lift, same size rims and tires  *On a side note, if the PO had not lifted before I bought it I would have gone 6/6
