The front springs are longer than the 72s By about 4 inches.

Superlift,but I don`t think 10" is needed.8" should do it.

Re: Would It work and is it worth it?

If you need the extra room with a 8" lift a body lift can be added..8" should be enough though depending on what you use the truck for..
I have 73-87 springs on my 69 K10,they fit but they hit the frame..

Re: Would It work and is it worth it?

If your going with that much lift you should go with an all spring lift, or a shackle flip for the rear. And stay away from home made blocks like the one in that auction, that is an accident waiting to happen!!

Ditch those rear blocks in the auction.For a 6" lift you should stay away from blocks...I believe 4" is about the max you should go with rear blocks.
