Title: K20 front end sag... lift kit needed. post pics of your rig
Post by: tenmile on April 23, 2014, 01:18:03 am

Hello all-  I have a 1985 k20 that sits as low as a 2wd in the front.  I am hoping to increase the height of the rig enough to clear 255/85r16 km2 bfg's.  My plan is to correct the sag with a 2.5" lift kit.  Can you guys post some pics of your 2.5" lifted rigs with similar sized tires as the 255.  Thank you.

     Welcome to the site tenmile, I do not have any pics of a 2.5" lift, that is a small lift it might take some time for someone who has done that exact lift to respond.
     I borrowed some from other sources for you to look at.  Here is 74k20's truck a member on here with his 2.5" lift on his 74K20

Thanks for the reply.  Both those trucks look great.  I am going for the tall skinny look just a touch above factory height.  Hopefully people post more pics!  I am going to start a thread about my budget flatbed build next.  Should make for a decent 1st story.

The negative arch springs that come from from the factory have plagued our trucks for years. The 2.5 lift sounds like a really good choice.
