I am restoring my first truck, 86’ GMC K1500 short bed fleet side for my daughter, soon to be her first truck.

I am looking for some lift kit info. I want to run 33/12.50’s and am not sure if a 4” is too high, not enough tire? I’m not rock crawling and not focused on maximum stuffing of tires into fender wells. Just want some room along with a clean look. My thought were 2.5-3”.

Along with height, what brand has the best on the road ride?

All spring or front spring and rear blocks?

Pictures would be awesome if anyone has some to share!

I haven’t driven the truck since 97’. Can’t wait to get it out of the weeds and back on the road!

Thanks
Tim

Replace Front and rear springs if the original springs are on it.
