Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Well I got some stuff done today. I did not end up getting a steering box today and it wont be in till Tuesday so the truck is not drivable right now. I did get the SRW box on today. Its not great but for now it is a bed and it will work.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...b/IMG_0481.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...b/IMG_0482.jpg And if you are wondering how it looks with singles on a Dana 70 HD dually axle here is a picture. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...b/IMG_0484.jpg As you can see I believe it sticks out about 1.5 inches. It kind of looks weird, but I think when I lift the truck 6 inches and put some 37s under it the big meats will look good on there. |
Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Tuck looks good, IMO it will look great with fat meats under'er. Ever time I see a truck with stock tires it looks like the rear end is narrower than the front.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Nice!!
I want to swap a DRW diff and front hubs onto my crew so I can run H1 Double bead locks with no spacers... Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Hummer tires will look sweet on it with your wide wagon wheels!

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Yes it will. I just gotta find some 6 inch lift springs for the front and do a poor man shackle flip in the rear. And fix brake lines and steering.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
I would go for a 4" lift, I think 6" will be too much and get to be annoying getting in and out of every day. To tell the truth if I could do it over I would order a 2.5" lift for my gmc, it already sits higher than the blazer does with 40"s and its only on 33"s. :\
What color do you plan on painting the wheels? |
Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
I dont think a 4 inch lift will clear enough for any flex if you drive offroad at all. I don't want to cut fenders. It might get annoying jumping in there all the time but I think I can manage.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
I think this is a 4"

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
That looks really close to the fenders. I would rather be safe than sorry. Ive talked to several people that ran 4 inch and 37s that have said at full lock they have gotten into the fenders.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
I love the height of my truck on 37's. I'm 6'1" on a good day and it's no problem getting in and out. So I think 6" with 37's will have that full wheel well look and not be to high. Good for a driver!

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
I curled in a fender with a roughcountry 4" w/ 35's on my k10. And that sat a lot taller than a lot of 4" lifts..

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Matt, trucks's looking good. I also agree that 4" is not going to work with 37's. Maybe a ford super duty, but not on a square chevy!

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Well I guess we'll see with my truck, though my front fenders already have wedges taken out and welded back together on the bottom corners.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Does your truck have the underhood firewall insulation?

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
No it does not. All the insulation I did have I removed to paint and it was old and fell apart.

Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab
Both of my diesels have an insulating panel that has insulation on the firewall and a rubber cover. It covers the entire firewall under the hood.
I'll snap a couple pics for you... Posted via Mobile Device |
