84 Jimmy/K5

[onlynaJp]

I just picked up a 84 Jimmy that is all stock and of course can't wait to start building on it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for lifting it or any other pointers. I'm looking to go 6" and run 35-37's

do 3/4 ton axle swap 52" rear springs to the front keep it low and just do body trimming. my friends right now is running 35's on 2" 3/4 ton lift springs with a 44hd front and 14bolt rear

I'm running 4" springs in front with a ORD shackle flip and 56" stock springs in the rearwith 35's. I've ran 6" lifts in the past and prefer 4" for wheeling.

14 bolts out of 3/4 tons are bolt in and 8 lug 44's, 10 bolts and 60's are as well. 60's are cheap right now so if you're going to upgrade go all out:greg:

4" Tuff Country front springs and ORD's Shackle flip in the rear.Plenty to clear 36's.Lose the swaybar or grab ORD's quick disconnects.Grab a 2wd steering box and do a crossover while your at it.

I don't have to worry about being too top heavy. There isn't much to climb in S. Mississippi.

4" springs and shackles sound like the way to go.
