'85 K20 "Whitey"

Got my leaf spring bushing in, front brake hoses, and a new brake master cylinder. Still need to redo some rear brake lines and bypass that leveling proportioning valve above the rear diff. Relocated my vent tubes for the diffs as well. Took it to size it up against @78SWB.

I'm gonna have to figure out something to get my back end level with the front. Some junks back there and the fronts have more tread but I don't think that will make up the difference.

Just makes it look fast, like you're on the throttle with a little front lift and rear squat.

Put the 12.04 dial in on the rear window!
 
How much does that shackle flip give you for height? Prob more than I need, I'm guessing.
 
More than I need then. I think I need another 1-2 inches. I'll have to get the bed cleaned out and see where I'm at.
 
It's a rough country 4" I assume. Says rc on the springs. Just guessing size because of the block they had on the rear. It's all off a parts rig

Not being a dick or anything like that But!... The front springs look way taller than 4" I`m thinking 6" for sure?

Looks too tall for 4" And awesome BTW! :thumb:

Could be. The truck I pulled the stuff off had these springs, the 4" blocks and a 3" body lift. It was only a half ton, and didn't have as big of a rear leaf pack like I do now. So I think it really would have sagged in the rear if it was 6 up front and 4 in the rear.

I have seen 6" up front with a 4" block and 2" add a leaf in the rear to level it out.
 
It will get something to level it out. I just need to measure what it will need in extra inches and also see what is left for threads on my u bolts made of gold.
