4" lift and 35's stock rims
I have a 1983 GMC Suburban 2500, it is on stock suspension right now but I am planning on getting a 4" lift with 35's this fall. I have 16x6.5 stock rims and want to get some OEM 16x8's (so I can fit bigger tires) that'll fit the dog dish hubcaps to give it a stock look but with a lift. If anyone has any pictures of a truck or suburban like that it'll help a lot.
I'm also wondering what brand/model tires I should get cause I ain't an extreme off-roader, but I do live on a dirt road and (like any backwoods kid) like to have a fun in the mud sometimes. I need lots of traction in deep snow too. Thanks y'all Last edited by Country Suburban 4x4; 04-28-2014 at 03:26 PM. Reason: Tried to add picture |

Re: 4" lift and 35's stock rims
well i can only help with the tires, but i have the truxus m/t's they're pretty good in snow and ice. could go up a lot of the hills around where i used to live in 2wd without loosing traction. and there were half dozen cars in the ditch on the way up. off road ive only taken the truck mudding once (i know i know...) but they did pretty good. they'd clean lugs fairly fast. and on the street they seem to be wearing good and wont make ya go deaf.

Re: 4" lift and 35's stock rims
I love the Goodyear Duratracs on my 68. They are great in the snow and all of the siping means they also do great on ice. I have idled through 18 plus inches of snow without even using my front axle, the tires just got it done.

The Wrangler Duratrac's do awesome in the snow. Love my 33's. Wish they came wider than 12.5 though. They're a great price too.

Re: 4" lift and 35's stock rims
All Terrains do great in the snow,but not in mud. For snow you don't want wide/flotation. That just gets you up on snow you can't drive out of. I ran 255/85-16 Cooper Discoverer S/Ts all winter and they were a perfect combination for wet/dry road,snow,and mud. I have them on Ford 7" wheels. I could wallow my 7-8k# truck and (5 x 10 x 2) trailer into the mud along the road making 12" ruts,load it with locust fire wood,and drag it right out up hill and over the hard edge of the pavement...no problem
