Rough country 4inch

I'm trying to get 2 more inches of lift on my 72 k5. It has 4inch springs in the front. Was looking into getting a 6inch spring. Anybody have advice. If I do get a 6inch spring will I have to change the steering? Break lines look like they will work. Going to get new shocks as well.

Re: Rough country 4inch

6" lift requires the same raised steering arm as 4". The brake lines need to be longer or original lines located to bottom of frame. The rear driveshaft will need to be lengthened (if raising rear). Not sure what shocks you have now, but make sure they can take the extra length.
