Need a Measurement
Would someone who has a stock height K10 or K1500 do a couple measurements and reply with results. I would like to know distance from the ground to bottom of both front and back center of the wheel wells. I would also need to know the height of your tires. I'm restoring a K1500 that p o had installed what I thought was a 6" lift. I didn't want the truck lifted that much, but didn't have the heart to go all the way back to stock. I bought a Tuff Country 2" set of springs, but the truck sits and looks higher than I imagined a 2" lift would look like. Thanks for any info provided.

Re: Need a Measurement
If all else fails. Why not measure your tail gate top and bottom and add the amount of gapx2 to those dimensions? Just a thought.

Re: Need a Measurement
May be difficult to find factory height- My K10 springs are weak & I'm sure it's lower than it was in 72. If someone installed new stock springs recently, they would be able to help you. I just bought some 2" rough country springs for my future restoration- not excited to hear they're too high
