how high off the ground is the floor board of the cab of the truck with a 6inch lift with 37's or a 4inch lift with 35's. Trying to figure out what size lift i want to but on my 87 k10 shortbed might add a 2inch body lift as well to make tires fit. id like to do a 6 with 37 but kinda wanna know how high ill have to jump before i make the purchase

If you are going to use your square off road 6" with 35's and 8" with 37's would be best to save your fender's unless you run skinny wheels and tire's.

I just went out and pulled a tape on my blazer and it is 30 1/2 inches from the ground to the lip of the body , dead center of the door.

I have 9 inches of suspension lift and no body lift with 38 inch toyo's.

Just to let you know , my springs are soft so they flex a lot but the 38's still hit the fenders every now and then when I am twisted up and my fenders are cut a bit.

35s are too Big for a 4in it'll Bog down and touch in the front on approach angles. My 33s looked beefy but ran like ****. 31.50 Baja MTZ Work NICe :) For a 6in.. go with a soft ride all spring kit and 37s!

As much as I hate the steps I'm going to add some and maybe a handle bc getting in sucks.
