I've been so into the low lift big tars thing for so long, I kinda want to revisit the big lift big tars thing. 100% street queen so ride quality and drivability would be paramount. Single cab long bed k30.

I'm thinking 18x39.5x16.5 on 3.5 backspace x14 wheels. Think it will fit ok on a 10" like this? Trimming avoided ideally.

One inch body lift is going on no matter what.
Theres an 8" bds front spring which I can not locate the spring rate.
Plus 1 inch zero rate forward 1.5"

6 inch rear spring and 4" flip.


I've been so against 52s up front but with the spring rates so high on lifted rears, maybe I can do 4" 52s up front. Which are 381 where tuff country ez ride 47" spring are 325.
That could probably drive pretty good?


Crossover for sure but where are the tall lift steering arms like oru used to have?

Should I go 12?
 
I have a Blazer with a 12" lift but the rear springs would be 52s
 
When I 1st built my blazer, I had 12" lift, 3" body lift, and 44x1850s, 4" back space, 14" wide wheels, and axle pushed 3.5" forward. Any flex while turned and tire would hit floorboard.

14 wide wheels and 3" backspace will not clear while turned. Maybe on flat ground but any bump and fenders are toast.
