Safely without hitting fenders probably 6susp.
4susp. would work but might hit if the wheel offset is to much or they are wide tires.

I would guess a 4 inch. Now look at your finger and determine 2 inches...... A 6 would be nice if you are gonna wheel it at all.
 Not much difference in a 4 and a 6.

Lift..
You can get by with a 4in lift . I had 35's on 15x10 with a 2in lift a 1in body I did have to cut the front fenders.
Like Drink2mny said your wheel off set could be a problem but I have seen some ppl not have a problem at all. And good thing about a 4in is in most cases you will not have to have your rear drive shaft re-done. You should get the sterring arm. and take a good look at the brake lines see if they will have room to move.

I would say if you went with a 6in you will have to get longger brake lines and have your rear drive shaft done.
Thanks on my old K5 I hated to sell that ride...My 72K5 will take a lot longger to build...

Not with just running 35's you should have a 10b right?..In the long run what are you going to do with it?

Tuff Country they have some soft spring rates. I like a lift that has some flex. And doesn't ride to much like a tank..lol

I have rough country on my 71 and heavy duty tuff country on my 70 and I'd say hands down the tuff country is better. the HD has a smaller spring rate than the rough country.Also, rancho springs are some of the stiffest around.
