i really like your build

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

How does that work for you with 3.73's and 44's? I guess you just use the granny gear as an actual first gear now and 4th is more or less an overdrive?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

How were the 38s and 6 inch just driving, not off roading. Looking to get 38s under my '87 K25 (after I get an engine in it). I'm not sure if I want a 6 or 8 inch lift.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

If you don't want to trim, get a narrower 38 than I did. A 38x12.50 would probably work with the proper backspacing and a 6" lift. Mine damn near cleared 38x15.50's with only a 6", but I had to take about a half inch off the front and rear corner of each front wheel well. It wasn't very noticeable at all, but I still felt bad doing it. Good thing my springs were so stiff too, because if my truck had ANY suspension flex at ALL, my fenders/inner fenders would be ripped to shreds. For just on-road driving, 6" will clear narrow 38's, but I'd honestly overall suggest an 8" kit. By the way, get new springs. I used blocks and an add-a-leaf in the rear of mine, and it rides so hard that it broke the add-a-leaf in half. I'm assuming something is wrong. :lol:
