Re: 1977 K10 2" Lift Install
It actually flexes pretty well. Swaybar was disconnected, limiting factor was the drooping rear tire raised up off the ground. I need to add 4.5" to my static shock length, and I will be smack in the middle of the shocks' travel. 7.5" difference as measured today in the front, and the shocks have 10" of travel, so I'm in good shape.
Nothing was binding at any corner, so I could in theory get a bit more, but realistically it'll never get more than that with the type of wheeling I do. At full stuff I still had measurable uptravel left in the shock in the rear. I'll probably get some longer bump stops at some point, but it doesn't seem critical. Going to need some steering correction at some point also...
Clearance below the lifted rear tire was 34".
