New guy has ?'s about lifting a 68 K-10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are there any extra steps or things I need to be aware of to lift my 68. All lift kits I have seen are for 69 and up. I am considering a 4 inch suspension lift.

Welcome to the site..............

You can go over to the 4x4 forums and probably find all kinds of info about lifting your truck.

You can look into a shackle flip for the rear, or go with blocks.

I have 4" blocks all the way around and I have never had a problem from going mudding or cruising the interstate. Anything larger though I would do shackles

thisolechevy........ Blocks are very dangerous on the front. I am sure you have heard it.
