6" will clear 37's if they're not too wide. Stick with about a 13.50 and you'll be fine. My k20 almost cleared 38x15.50's with a 6". Nice truck by the way!

Re: 1979 k20 custom deluxe

Will 35's fit without a lift? Is it a no, possible or yes with some rub? And have anybody done a shackle flip on the back?

And just making sure when you measure to see how long of springs you have you just got bolt to both right? Or do you add in the curvature of the spring

Depending on how wide the 35s are, they will clear but will rub when turning.
