4 inch lift with 33s? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71GMCer · 06-28-2010, 01:02 AM

Anyone have a 69-72 truck/blazer/offroader with a 4inch lift and 33s?

Im thinking of getting a 4'' for my truck but i dont want bigger tires but i also dont want the "big lift small tire" look

Any pics would be great!

Nobody else has answered you so I will.
I'm running 33s with no lift, so surfed around & can't find a pic of 4" lift with 33s. Here is a link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=4002477 to a few with 2" & 33s; I think that looks really good. IMHO 4" of lift needs 35" tires to look right.
Look around in the sticky "How about some pics of your 4x4" http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=113533 and there may be one in there somewhere.

Here is my 68 with 4" lift and 33's. If you plan to use your truck for wheeling then 35's are really too big to stuff without trimming. I have 35's now but it is just an urban 4x4.

Here I am in 2001 33" Dunlop MudRovers 4" lift w/3" body lift, the last pic I am on the far left, my son ontop the cage, his favorite thing back then..now he love Xbox more than the K5

Here's mine. 3/4T with 4" lift (blocks in rear) and 285/75R16 tires

I actually think i might do a 2'' lift now that ive seen pics.

plus now that i think about it...itll cost more for gas with a 4''

Thanks guys! that solves my conundrum

Just picked up this truck, was told its a 3 inch suspension lift. 33 bfgs

71GMCer · 07-04-2010, 01:58 PM

that looks good too! I was gonna get a 3'' but then i was told that 3'' lifts didnt exsist!

Who makes that lift do you know?

I'm not sure, the PO didn't know. I need to do some measuring to see what it really has

bglad420 · 07-04-2010, 02:58 PM

I had 2" on my old K5 with 33's I thought anything more would have given it the tiny tire look IMO

NHSrebel · 07-10-2010, 07:46 AM

Mine turned out pretty good. Its not quite done but almost. I think it would look better with 35s but the 33s work.

What lift height did you end up going with?
