lift?

Ive got a 79 4x4, curious how big of lift kit would I need for a 36 inch tire? broncograveyard says 6.5, Does that make sence or can I make it on a 5 incher?

Much depends on how you intend to use the truck and how wide of a tire you plan to use. A narrow 35" tire will fit with only a 4 inch lift, but a truck that has a bunch of lfex and will see some off road use will require more lift. Wider tires will also require additional lift.
4 to 6 inches will be right. 6 inches will keep the tires out of the fenders though.
