    Help me decipher what lift I have...

    That is a sweet ride. And the 20s(?) with the dog dishes are cool. I'm with you on my tires. I've looked and measured a few times, but they say 265/75-16. And they're bald. And I have other trucks with wider wheels. For some reason I love the tall skinnies on my squares. I think they're wide...

    Help me decipher what lift I have...

    Ahhhh- gotcha. I'm about to get to know the axles pretty well with maintenance and doing rear drums. Don't think I've touched my drum spring tool since I daily drove an 80 Suburban in the 80s. Which by the way was full time 80/20. I loved that thing.

    No- I'm an idiot. I didn't realize he was measuring in the front. My stop bracket is just like that. I did, however, measure from top of axle tube to frame instead of top of springs to bracket. Maybe I'll go do that too. More info is better.

    The pic a few up is my driver's front leaf. It looks like the burb has a different bump stop perch and maybe a different frame? My bump stop has a big u shaped piece coming down from the frame. That is where I measured. And maybe you're right- mine are just spring pads. I've been under this...

    Thanks guys! That's what I was wondering. Here is a pic of the driver's leaf. And more info if it adds to detective work- Ground to fender- 43" rear and 41" front Bumpers 24" front and 26" rear from ground to bottom of bumper. My hope was to find something in the 34" range for tires if 35...

    So I have read a bunch of threads on how to measure and figure it out, but the more I read- the more my eggs get scrambled. I traded for a 76 K20 with a 465/205 14 bolt setup. That part I am jazzed about. He put a 454 in it and said he sealed it up. That is another battle... He also said it...
