What 6" lift to buy...?
 
Hi! I'm interested in installing a 6" lift kit on my 1972 K series Cheyenne. I'd like to collect some opinions on what brand to go with. Also, I realize that I'll probably have to have the driveline lengthened. Does anybody have a good pic of there 6" lift? Thanks!

Do you want to off road it or will it be more of a on road truck?

I always answer this question with Tuff Country EZ-Rides because they have the best quality and price while being made in the USA. If you don't buy them local, the best place is www.suspensionconnection.com . That is actually direct from Tuff Country.

6" lift, 10" wheels, and 315/75-16 tires (35/12.50)

Oh yeah good point! Mostly highway with a little mild off roading i.e. camping

Actually i'm in the market for a 6" lift and found Skyjacker to be slightly less than Tuff country. Take a look.

I went with custom springs for a high spring rate.

I want to replace my worn sagging Rough Country's (NOT false advertising) with some new springs, I've heard good things about Zone Off Road. Anyone have any experience with them? I can purchase 4" springs for $85 a side directly from Zone. 6" are only $105 a side.

Looks good, but I don't believe the spring widths for 73-87 trucks are the same as ours. Can anyone confirm that?
