Making stock ride height look gooooood. - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

76/85 Truck · 10-06-2010, 10:16 PM

Mine's still stock height. 76 frame under an 85 body, with 265/75R16's. I like the stock stance, but I'm thinking about a small 2 inch suspension lift. Not too sure yet. The driveway has some slant to it, so that kind of changes the look, and the wheel is turned a bit... Kind of an awkward picture.

I like em stock height also. Mine in avatar is stock.

hitcher · 10-06-2010, 11:13 PM

Hey TexasJeff: That's a nice looking truck! What size are the tires?

TexasJeff · 10-07-2010, 12:46 PM

Thanks Burger, they are Michelin LTX MS LT 285R16 all the way around, no rubbing.

TexasJeff · 10-07-2010, 06:55 PM

Did you make a typo? The sidewalls on those two tires look about the same height. No way one can be a 45 series and the other a 70 series if they're the same width.

DesertBob · 10-08-2010, 04:16 PM

Mine is stock as well. Rolls on 285R16 tires.

Walts_restoration · 10-08-2010, 04:24 PM

Needs a solid axle and 32s.

That truck looks perfect as is imho. I wouldn't change a thing.

mooseknuckles · 10-09-2010, 08:39 PM

Its against the law in some places that chevy's remain stock ride height! They have to be either lifted or lowered.

You got that beach front property for sale in South Dakota too right?

lha1992 · 10-10-2010, 03:13 AM

I know its not a '73-'87 truck but saw other people posting other trucks so here's my '89 Silverado riding stock height with 235-75-R15 tires. Been that way since my granddad bought it new in '89. Its gonna be getting a paint job and the wheels sand blasted and painted.
