depending on the srpings will will get 2-3.5 inches of lift.

you will need;
the swap kit from sky's http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/welcome.htm
if you wanna relocate your your shocks they also have the shock it and the u-blot flip kit

springs from a 90-98? chevy 1500, either 2wd or 4wd( 2wd are softer and have 3leafs, 4wd are a little stiffer and have 4leafs)

before...with a AAL on stock size tires


after, with a truck full of poeple on 33s


some flex shoots

kind of... the lift will depend the arch thats left in the springs when you get them, it's just the 2wd springs are softer and give a nicer ride
