Re: Pics of your 2 inch ez ride tuff country lift? 67-72 k20 long box

Here's my ck20 with what I think is a 4" lift and 35's. The PO installed it with a body lift and stacked blocks in the back. I removed the small block and left the 4" block and removed the body lift, not much room left.

Well, that's what the guy I bought the truck from said. It is all sprin up front and 4" blocks in the rear. From what I have read, 35's will fit with a 4" lift, you just need to limit your rough country driving.
Mine looks like that's the case.

I have a 2" lift springs front and back on my 1970 K20. They are from Skyjacker. Here are pics unloaded and with 1000 lbs. of bricks loaded from the rear axle backwards.

Hey TJ:

Love the look of your truck! Did you encounter any problems installing these springs into your truck? I am trying to achieve a similar look on my 70' 2WD C20 to assist in my entering and exiting the cab (I am tall).

Did you just buy and install the springs? Or were other modifications required?

Please let me know. Thanks!

No problems and no other modifications. I used the stock Pitman arm so the steering center shifts about 1/4 turn of the wheel. I couldn't find a Pitman arm for a 2" lift.
