Title: '86 K30 ex-military cheapest lift
Post by: 79chevykid on January 04, 2011, 04:01:33 pm
My brother is looking at buying an '86 K30 ex-military truck. The truck has rust around all the fenders but the odometer only reads 20,000 with the 6.2 non-turbo diesel.  He is looking at lifting the truck and trimming the fenders, since they are already rusty, for bigger tires probably around 37 inch.  Can he get away with a 4" lift with the fender trimming or is a 6" lift needed.  What is the cheapest way to lift it the necessary height, no blocks, i read something about the rear springs in the front and shackles.  Can someone give me some more info on this. Thanks.
