235/70's on 8's and 275/60's on 10's should keep about the same tire height.

Ditch the running boards first and foremost(unless you or the little lady really need them). That will provide you an immediate change in the overall "attitude" of the truck.

Re: My 82 gmc project starts!!!
Lol I will bro, I havent done much to it yet I just changed the valve cover gasket on the ps this last Monday and am going to do the other side this next week. I also removed the dash pad and bezzel but havent done anything else to it yet. Im going to buy a replacement dash in another few weeks. Ill take pics of the inside of the truck tomorrow and post them. I am currently without carpet bc I have some rust resto to do to the truck.
