Level?
All right I just installed new rear lift springs in the K5 this weekend to cure the saggy butt that it had and it doesnt look much different. My question is at the arch of the fender wells, should the front and the rear be the same height?

to me it looks like the rear fenders are cut as high... so it may "look" like its sagging.

What lift kit did you go with??
Most companies will tell you, with a fullsize Blazer or Jimmy you need to get a 2in bigger rear spring setup or lift block. If you get a 4" lift. get a 6" for the rear. The butends of these rigs are heavy and sit pretty nicely with a 4 and 6 setup. I know you just bought the kit. But a simple solution could be to add a 2 in add a leaf to the rear..

add a tapered o.r.d. zero rate block to the rear, your possibly going to need it anyway to adjust your pinion angle.

Seems like every lift kit I've seen leaves the rear slightly lower than the front. Mine on my 72 did. I flipped the shackles and hangers on the rear to level it out.

My buddy and I did a lot of research when we lifted his '69 K-5 and we found that the Blazers need an extra 2" just like drink2mny said.
