You're almost right.

It had a 3" body lift, shackle flip in the rear with 8" springs and a 4" block. It had 12" springs in the front with a 4"x4" 1/4" thick tube that the spring perches are wlded to, and the front shackles were longer. I moved the shackles back in the frame to give it more lift as well. It sat 22" taller with 235's on it that a stock height K20 did with 235's on it.
