:thumb: fixed it for ya with a space

and nice clean rig for upstate ny rust belt. you look it over good for severe patch panels or bone ?
 
thanks um yes i looked very well there is about an inch of rust starting at the cab corners but im going to cut and replace them soon u think thats a 4 inch lift??
 
thanks there is a big steel bumper in the bed u can prob see sticking up that is going on the front next weekend ill post pics of the front when its up
 
Yep, looks like 4" to me and good score on the price for that.
 
yea and the wood flooring in the bed is still in great shape!! should i get black rims for this truck? i cant decide
 
Are you guys sure thats not a 6" lift? Buddy of mine has same body style and 35" tires and it looks like it sits the same as his. 35" tires and no rubbing or trimming?

By the way how was the ride and steering? I am considering the tuff country spring lift on my 73 blazer.

As far as rims you could pull off like a dc-2 with the same type of offset. Best of both worlds, shiney and black.
 
I withdraw my question about lift. I say 4" I put both truck pics side by side and Ricks is taller. My apologies
 
Don't buy wheels till after you break the rear 10 bolt and swap in 8 lug axles. :whistle:

Or, if you MUST buy some wheels, buy 16" or 17" cheap black steelies and some tires to go with them. That way, when you do the 8 lug swap later, you won't need to buy tires too, just some 8 lug wheels. :waytogo:
 
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS "RIGHT CLICK" PICS, COPY, THEN PASTE!

thanks for the opinion on the rims and yep no triming or rubbing its tuff country ez ride lift only leaf springs no blocks it rides smooth until you hit a bump then it sends you flyin up off the seat
 
here is an accurate pic of the height and its stance this pic is older it now has bed liner mirriors black grille and after market steel bumper

id say definitely 4 inch lift.truck is real clean for the year.you got a good deal on it for sure.i like the rims.it does need a good scrubbing with steel wool to clean them up and make shiny again.if you want black rims just clean these real well and hit em with some spray paint.i did that and they last pretty goood like that.
