6" lift, what size tire - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

warpig98 · 03-28-2010, 09:12 PM

i've got a 2001 gmc 1/2 ton that i'm putting a 6" suspension lift as we speek and a 3" body ordered. i have a set of 37" tires lined up. would they fit without the body lift????? pics of 6" with 37" tires would be awsome.

I am pretty sure 37's will rub bad with only the 6 inch lift. Most guys are running 35's with a lift that size.

I have a friend with that setup on a 04 1500... it rubs but is easily drivable... and the front bumper is trimmed...

I had an 04 Silverado with a 6" Pro Comp lift and 3" body lift. With the 6" only, 35x12.5 Nitto Mud Grapplers rubbed horribly. With the 3 inch body installed, there was more than enough room for 37's. I have pics with the 6" suspension, and 3" body sitting on 35's, just don't know how to post them cuz they are kinda big! PM me your email and I'll send them to you if interested.

ok, thanx guys. i'm thinkin about these 37" because there only $200.00 and about 1/2 tread. untill i get the money to get new tires, i'll prolly go with 35" then. actually i have 305-75-16 on now, and the guy that has the 325-80-16 wants to trade me even up because he wants a bigger tire on his truck but the 325's rubbed.

just run them and see what you think.. then if you want throw on the BL and call it a day

warpig98 · 03-29-2010, 09:11 PM

yeah thats prolly wat i'll do. i was hoping not to run that body lift. kinda not a big fan of them. don't even know why i ordered it.... oh well, we'll see wat happens.

this is my set up, i have 6" in the front and 4" in the rear.
haven't driven it yet so can't really say weather it rubs or not, but just from the 'dry testin' i've done turnin it bump to bump i haven't got any rub yet. but i think i'm gonna go 8" in the front and 6" in the rear, just to be safe. i'm not a big fan of body lifts either.

35'' be lookin good

Yea but you got solid axle as well its different with IFS you need more lift to run the same tires IMHO! I would think 6" could do 35"s easy but 37"s like 2" BL as well but I gotta agree I don't really like BLs either!
