Re: 05 sierra lift help
Here's my '00
I used a 6" Fabtech lift, has 35" (315/70r17) tires Part of the kit is to drop the front 'axle' a little bit and it looks like there are wider blocks in the CV part, I haven't noticed any issues with binding, and haven't had any problems in 1500 miles so far...

Re: 05 sierra lift help
Ok, I went and took a couple more pics...
This one shows that spacer I mentioned, I don't remember if the CV axle bolted straight to the differential or if there was a small spacer there before. That wide spacer and the bolts in it are new and part of the lift. Oh, the left front tire is nearly all the way to the left, for reference... Different camera angle: Hope it helps!!

Re: 05 sierra lift help
Nah, they're Eagle Alloys, not sure of the model, the shop made me a good deal on them and they looked good, so I got them.
Glad I could help!
