how much lift is it ?

Hello,

I bought a lifted K5 '84 with 35x12.5xR15 tires a couple of weeks ago

I want to reduce to less lift and 33" tires (these 35" are ruined anyway).
Unfortunately it's unclear for me how much lift i have at the moment.

Please have a look at the picture and let me know :-)

Btw. distance between center of the wheel hub and edge of the fender is 27.5".
What's the standard alike ?

Looks like 6" lift, if not more.

I second that I am going to say at least a 6" possibly a bit more. Why are you wanting less lift on it? You could easily run 33"s as is might look a little goofy just depends on personnel preference on how much wheel well gap you like to have.

Less lift because i'll never use it for offroad. Secondly, the car is way too hardcore for my wife to drive :-) Thirdly, 35" ATs are hard to get for reasonable price.
I think 33s" would look fine if i reduce to 4" or even 2" lift. At least that's my feeling after seeing some photos of such setups...
