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

[The Butcher]

Another wheel and tire change. My wife was driving it the other day and I was following behind so I got to see it rolling down the road. I'm really happy with the proportions of this set up. 375 Mickey MTZ on 16x10 Outlaw II. Same lift as before (2.5" skyjacker with zero rate in the rear and 3" body lift).

Love that color

I wouldn't do 8" springs. Look into getting longer shackles first. Cheaper too. Nice truck! Don' see many with an outer snorkel

Shackles point pinion down.. why not spring?

And thx.. arb land cruiser snorkel. Matches our body line...

8" spring have lots of arch. It's better to point pinion down than have a 45° drive shaft. On my big blue truck I had to stretch my front axle 6" to get an ok angle. Not to mention the more arch, the less comfortable ride. Every pot hole seems neck breaking

Hi, guys! Here's my newly restored '91 K5 Blazer,







4'' Tuff Country HD-ride + 2'' Rear blocks, 35x12.5/15 BFG KM2. 4.56 gears, Yukon shafts front&rear. No fender trimming.
The work is still in process.
I think it should have looked like this from the assembly line

There are not many K5s here, so it's not for sale :-) It may be the only '91 blazer with scottsdale trim in the country.

Needs 40s.

 

[Chevman88]

Needs 40s.

Next time maybe. I would want a D60 front and at least 5.13s. Besides I got a screaming deal on the 37s, brand new set for $800.
