Anyone with 2"-3" Lift?

Looking for some pics of 73-87 trucks with 2"-3" lift. If you can help out, that would be great! Thanks!

Re: Anyone with 2"-3" Lift?

Here is my 83 K10. It has a shop built lift in this picture. 3" blocks in the back and about 2" in the front. The wheel wells are level in this picture so it actually has about an inch of rake. 31x10.5 15s. For me the stance was perfect.

Re: Anyone with 2"-3" Lift?

On the attached link you'll find a pic of my 87 with new stock height heavy duty springs and O&M size 235/85/16 tires. I know your looking for 2-3 inch but mine lifted a little with the new leafs so I figured it would good for a reference.
When I get new tires I plan on 265 or 285s to get more width.
