How to get this stance... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I absolutely love the stance on Alex's truck. I'm curious what it might take (other than those nice, big tires) to get that stance on my 68. Would tires alone do it or will it need a lift?

**nightmare** · 12-10-2003, 04:50 PM

i'd suggest a lift plus tires. the tires alone will just fill up the wheel wells.

from the pics it looks like just tires but pics are decieving wouldnt be more than a 3 inch lift at best tho if any

*67Fleetsidedream* · 12-10-2003, 06:13 PM

That looks like a body lift with tires too me.

My truck is not lifted....yet. I have a 2" lift for it and will install it before too long. The tires are 31x12.50's on 15x8 rally wheels.

You know, it's not going to be long before Alex strays in here and catches me red-handed trying to clone his truck! Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, Alex!

Hey I bought the truck the way it sits...and I too like the way it looks. However, it's a 4x4 and if I had a 2wd I would drop it for the cool slammed look. Honestly, no offence taken here...these are Chevy trucks and they look cool, so make yours however you want it! Rock on dude and thanks for the compliments!

BTW...No body lift on this truck, just tires.

Anybody got pics of a 2-inch lift and 31's handy? I'm curious how it might make my 68 sit.

I am really not into the lifted trucks but I do like 4x4's
This is a pic of Bermblasters truck and to me it is awesome just as it sits.

Here's a pic of a 68 with a 2-1/2" lift and 33"x9.00s

shuttermutt · 12-11-2003, 12:26 AM

Wow, that's just a 2-1/2, Blazerman? Damn! Looks like more. Cool ride, BTW.

It's funny. It wasn't that long ago everybody was lifting. Now it seems like everybody's slamming. I don't know. I just don't care for the lowered thing. But, hey... to each his own, right? After all...

Freedom of suspension is the American way!
