Larry, are you able to recall what springs may have been used on this truck?? With the tire combo, I’m thinking it looks like 2-3” springs.

I’m planning on a small lift for my ‘87 V20 soon and am just tying to aim for a height like this. (Currently running 255/85’s with just an ORD add-a-leaf up front)

Sorry for the late reply but I don’t make it to these here parts of the world much anymore. Anyway, those were the stock K20 Camper Special leaf spring packs my dad had reworked at a local spring shop. The rears had a few springs added and the fronts were re-arched to get a tad bit of lift. These tires were 9:00 x 16 but it also ran taller Q78 x 16 for many years as well. Those Q78s did rub the front fenders
