Hey guys, I just picked up my first K5, traded a lifted YJ for it. As I am going over the truck I am trying to figure out if I have enough lift to remove the 3" body lift. It doesn't look like it will work without the body lift & I can't trim the fenders because of the flares which I need to stay legal in NH. Here are some pics with 35" tires as I bought it. The blocks in the rear are 4", both front & rear springs are arched & it is 43.5" to the center of the wheel wells. Take a look & let me know your thoughts, thanks!

You have 7 inches of lift. If you remove the body lift there will be room for the 35's on the street. I have 4 inches of lift with 35's without rubbing . I also lowered my bumpstops. If you trim the lower corners of your fenders you can gain room and keep your flairs.
 
Looks like a 4" suspension lift. if you look at the front, the stabilizer mounts directly tot the frame. if it was a 6" lift it would have some type of spacer or no stabilizer at all. you could ditch the body lift and still be ok with the 35s if you take it easy.
 
you could also put a 1" BL in as your taking out the 3" to give you a little more room...
