1970 k10 4 inch lift with 35's
I recently ordered new rear 4 inch leafs to get rid of the blocks and I'm pretty sure they sent me 2 inch leafs. Can someone with a set up similar to mine measure from ground to fender on front and rear center of the tires and post the measurements? Thank you in advance.

Morning bump for ya. Sorry I can't help -- my K20 has OEM rear springs with AALs and overloads -- but hopefully someone will jump in here soon.
Just wanted to say welcome to the board, and WOW that is a gorgeous truck!

Ive read that most ordering all spring lifts go up in size on the rears to level them out. When I was looking at 2.5 inch lifts I frequently saw 2 inch in front and 4 in the back to avoid the "sag". Id guess its the same for 4 inch kits.

This is pretty much what I'm being told. I verified that they are 4 inch springs so I'm gonna have to return them and get 6 inch springs. Thanks for the reply.

Re: 1970 k10 4 inch lift with 35's
That does look like more drastic of a difference than with all 4". It also looks to me like two inches too short, to be how all 4" would sit. That rear hardly looks lifted
And, hey, nice truck and welcome to the board!!
