You might want to ask your question over in the 4x4 area,... unless someone has some info.
Anyone?

I have the same exact set up and I am looking to put 35 on it so I would be interested in hearing replys too.

as i remember for 80-87 chevys once you get higher than 4'' lift the steering arm gets involved, im just wondering if one is available for 67-72 trucks?

I don't plan on any more then 4". I should not have to change anything other then possibly the closed knuckle to an open plus disk brakes.

From the Tuff Country Instructions:

Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends installing a raised steering arm once a 4” suspension system has been installed.
If you have not already ordered your raised steering arm, please contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order part # 70100.

You'll need extended shocks, brake line re-locators, vent hoses extended and driveline angles checked
