Here's Mine

Mine's got 6" BDS springs in front with ORD shackles and greasables, poly body mounts, and blocks in the back. I already ordered the DIY4x shackle flip for the rear, but it won't be here for another week or so due to Kert going to run his ride at a big event for some well deserved vacation. It's got 35's on it as it sits, but it really needs some 36-37's.

not trying to hijack..i'd pots a pick but i only got a shortbed..i'd rather juts make one, save $250 on a snorkel..
 
This is a couple years back, when I just got my 73 K20. Using left over Blazer parts, Rough Country 4" springs with longer shackle gave me about 6" of lift. Rolling on 15x10's with just some BFG 35" M/Ts. Behind it is a stock newer Mazda 4x4. Behind corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. Before cool mods like beer tap shifter and bottle opener welded to push bumper. The things that makes hitting the trail so much more enjoyable!! :haha:
