does this k5 on ebay have a lift or no?

Wanting to go from 32's to 33x12.50's if they will fit like the picture. That k5 fits them well if it doesn't have any lift, it doesn't look too stuffed.

Re: does this k5 on ebay have a lift or no?

It doesn't seem to have a lift kit. There's obviously no body lift and the front springs still have a slight negative arch. All I can say is a 33x12.50 should stuff those wheel wells a lot more than those do. They may be 33x10.50's, which would clear without much of a problem and also explain why they don't look like balloons on an 8" ralley wheel.

Re: does this k5 on ebay have a lift or no?

looks like theres some helper shocks on it. Maybe the springs are just new stock replacements. I just replaced my 4 inch spring/block lift with a 6 inch all spring lift and my truck sits almost 6 inches higher, those springs sag over the years!
