Since you said it's not a big upgrade to pick up the 22's, I'd do the 22's 1st and the start to pick up parts to bag it...22's and air bags are kind of a combo deal haha
i do like 22's on other peoples rides because most of them are bagged, but its kinda hard to pull the trigger after seeing them on mine. lucky all i have is time to decide on what to do next. :barn:

I vote bags and put a 22 inch wheel on the rear and leave the 20s up front.

Hector that truck you posted is a customer of Jose's. I talked with him quit a bit but at that show. The axle is narrowed, but I "think" the tubs were stock. Those are 12's not 14's which looked great except those 25 series tires are to small for me.

I feel the 22's might look a little better, but they would not have the huge impact that bags would. Bag it first and change wheels later.

Text me when your ready to get started.

did you decide to go with the 22's? what tire size is that on the raceline wheels you tried on?

Ok these will be the last few pics on this side of the forum but i couldnt leave you guys hanging, since its not a truck and not a blazer we are gonna put it under the 67-72 Suburban forum under 67 Tahoe/Suburban and his member name is "67tahoe". There are few of these out there but not one like this atleast that i have seen or know of, and i know my buddy has gone through alot of headaches but i say they were all worth it. :metal:

I didn't respond to this because in my head I was thinking, "it's a LS motor"...now that you posted the pics, it all makes sense. I'm thoroughly jealous of this rig. Can't wait to see the build write up you do for it! In the few pics you posted, I see a ton of body mods already like shaved drips, rear door mod...not to mention the chop.
