Re: Tire/Wheel/lift question.
Is yours an 8-lug? 315/75s are 12.50/35s,6" lift is recommended for 88-98s,and 8" rims will do you best. Those trucks came with inset wheels (more offset) like front wheel drive cars. Bigger tires tend to stick out pretty far from the fenders. 4" and up lifts cost a lot on these trucks and all they do is space the suspension down off the frame...still stock suspension. I decided to go with adjusting the torsion bars up and using 285/75 Swamper SSRs and saved a couple thousand dollars. On 6-lug 1500/2500s you can change out torsion bars and get it up a good bit. I believe Rancho still makes that kit. There are also knuckle/spindle lifts made for the lighter duties.
