Can someone with a stock K5 take some measurements?

[Blazer79]

I'm wondering how much lift my Blazer has. It has custom springs from a local shop in the front with 6" shackles, and an echobit flip on the rear plus a 2" body lift. I never actually measured how much suspension lift I actually got. I'm planning on 52" spring swap on the front but have no idea if I will go up or down.

So I don't know if it's been posted before, but can someone with a stock Blazer measure from the center of the wheel to the edge of the fender? Both front and rear axles would be great. Or it could be from the axle tube to the frame in order to discard old bushings and body lifts.

Thanks.

i can do this for you when i get home tonight. Ive got 33in tires, but that shouldnt effect the measurement youre asking for. and if anything, my front springs are sagging a bit, but there arent any body lifts or suspension mods.

Mine sits at 21 7/8" at all four corners from center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender. I hope that helps

On the front I have 31" 7/8, - 2" body lift gives me 8" Never though I had that much. Maybe I'll have to go with lifted 56" spring packs.

On the rear I have 28" 1/2 -2" body lift = 26 1/2 which means the Echobit shackle flip gives me 4" 3/8. Weird but my truck sits level.

Saggy springs? Unless someone stored a blazer on jackstands from the frame for 20+ years I'm sure we can all be confident we're using the same stock saggy standard.

Thank you guys. I really appreciate it. Now I just have to decide on the correct 52s" or maybe 56s.

Maybe someone with stock 52"s in the front can perform the same measurements if it's not too much to ask?

Thanks again!
