Re: thinking hummer tires
Probably a 6 to 8 inch lift rpms depends your gear ratio with those tires.

Re: thinking hummer tires
I clear 37x14.50s with a 6" bds with 1" zero rates up front. I wouldn't try it on a 4" lift unless you don't mind cutting fenders or body lift.

Re: thinking hummer tires
GHAH! How have I missed that K5? What is that fabulous looking front bumper that you have? Great looking K5.

Re: thinking hummer tires
lol thanks. it has no markings and no identifying things. it appears to have been made by ARB and has styling from that. supposedly from when they were called "aussie"?
no clue really. it came on my truck when i bought it and it is definitely well made and if it was one off it was by a very skilled person. 1-3/4 tubing bent up to press broke 1/4 plate bottom part. it is a winch bumper also under the plate. i painted it black and put it on my dually a while back. when i sold the dually it was a deal breaker if the bumper didnt go with it. on topic lol, this is 4 inch and zero rate with 36s ![]() |

Re: thinking hummer tires
4 inch lift might work if you use some cut out fender flares maybe.

Re: thinking hummer tires
Are you going to run those military take off's? The 16.5" 37's? I had a set of those on my lifted ford and suprisingly they rode well and the wheel turned ok in the parking lot.
