Re: k10 with a 6 inch lift help!

Imho, you probably don't need 6" for 35's. Just 4" will do fine and that's what most people do. There are many brands of kits out there that are nice. Research blocks VS full spring lift. Springs are more expensive but better ride. You may need to get drop pitman arm to help avoid bump steering. You may also need to extend e-brake cables, brake lines and extend drop line to rear axle. All this and 4 new shocks to accommodate the new distance between the suspension. The lift may also effect your drive shaft angle and reduce u-joint life. Wedging the axles to reduce pinion angle can help this.

So there ya go. Now you know what I know. I believe I have tuff country soft ride.

Also I think this is the wrong forum for this post. Should be general 4x4 forum.
