How will my K5/truck look with xx" tires on xx" of lift?

88 k5

Here is mine. 88 K5 blazer, started out with a 2.5" Rancho with 33x9.50s....now has a 4" Rough Country, 3/4 ton running gear, 36x14.50 Swamper Radials. Just got it together last night. Probably going to get a 1-1/2" long rear addaleaf once the front settles. Then a 1" body lift.

That looks so much taller than 4" to me :dunno:

the 2.5" looks like 4" and 33s to me lol
 
The rough country 4" springs sit like other manufacturers 6" kits. My buddy put one on his kids blazer and with a 4" block in the back had to put an addaleaf in the rear to get it level.

The 2.5" is actually a 2.5" they are rancho 86202 springs.
 
52" deaver c65's in front and 64" deaver f70's in rear with two leaves added

1/2 ton bone stock to now.

1st pics are as I bought it.

Swapped out the 1/2 tons for D60 and 14 bolt FF.
6" Skyjacker springs in the front, with ORD shackles, 4" in the rear with custom shackle flip and ORD shackle.
16.5 x 9.75 wheels with 42" Pitbulls
Lots of trimming and tubbed both front and rear to avoid raw edges on cut fenders.
Front spring swap planned for this winter and move front axle forward 1.5"

That looks sick!! What is the back slant shell from?
 
Built it myself.
1/8" aluminum with 3/16 Lexan windows.
Opens up like a hatchback, on gas struts.

It's in my build thread but I'm not sure how to add that to my replies..?

Go to the user control panel. And click the edit signature on the side. Write all the info you want and copy and past a link to your thread :thumb:
 
That definitely stands out!!

Cool machine!
How much of it did you do, or were you fortunate enough
To score it like that??
 
I like the look of that truck. I'm trying to talk my brother into something similar.

In the middle of doing a 52 swap with some EZ inches and then will get some extended shackles for the rear to match the front. Then it should be ~5'' total.
