Lift kit
« on: February 13, 2020, 08:22:04 PM »
I have a 1986 Chevy K10 and I’m wanting to put a 2.5” suspension lift on it (skyjacker).  I was wondering if anyone had pics of their trucks with a 2.5” lift.  It seems the most common is either a 4” or 6”.

This is one of my trucks with 33"s and about 2.75" lift. I didn't want to go any higher since I use it as my working man's truck.

Thanks, that looks really good!  I agree, I’m hesitant going any higher.

Just installed a superlift 2.5 inch on my 80 short box. Running 33's as well.
Looks about perfect for a daily driver
