2" or 4" Lift?
Need some help, I would like to see 67-72 with both 2" and 4" lifts. I can not decide which looks better. I will be running 33x12.5 tires and rally wheels. This truck is a daily driver please keep that in mind. Also if you can recommend a lift and where to purchase that would be great.

do the 4". lifting a truck works just like lowering it. once you start, you'll wish you had more. i also recomend the Tough Country springs up front with a shackle flip out back, unless you plan on towing, at which point lift springs are your only good option. avoid blocks as they multiply any wheel hop issues that you may run into.

I have a '72 with 4" spring lift. I went with Superlift up front and ProComp in the rear. I would also recommend replacing your rear springs since they are more than 32 years old. Mine literally fell apart when we took the spring packs off the truck. If you can't afford the extra for the rear springs try the shackle lift for the rear, blocks are a last option. Good luck. My truck is in pieces for the frame off so I can't send any pictures.

Here is my 69 K20 when it had 4" Tuff Country Ez-ride front springs and a shackle flip out back - all from Off-Road Design.

Does the EZ Ride really improve the ride quality enough to justify the cost.
