Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Here is my stocker dually with 235/85/16's. I opted for the skinny because of all the snow travel. Wide tires look cooler but if you want to cut the snow and ice the skinnies can't be beat. I see an Alaska post so that may be a thought. Suspension is fully stock here is how it sits.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
No problem
I don't think it has any lift. The front springs, I believe, have 4 leafs. I dunno if the 1 tons with the 6.2 have heavier spring or not. I'll get a pic of my front springs tomorrow in the daylight. I'll also measure from the center of the hub to the fender lip. Posted via Mobile Device

Hey joe231, do those tires rub at all? and what kinda gas mileage are you getting on yours, its a 6.2l diesel right? was there a difference in gas mileage switching to the 285s. I appreciate all the help.

I put these wheels and tires on shortly after I got the truck. It had 235/85/16's on it which are close to the same height as the 285/75/16's (the 285's are only an inch taller overall) Yeah it's a 6.2 with 4L80E overdrive trans. I haven't checked mileage (my trip odometer doesn't work), I'd guess upper teens-lower 20's. I'll go take pics of my springs now... Edit: pics    It does have 4 leafs. My K20 Burb only has 2 leafs. As you can see there is lots of room in the front fender. The tire isn't totally straight in that picture... Posted via Mobile Device

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
The guy i bought it off of said it had the tow package, i dont know if that means it has heavier springs, but would make sense to me that it would have the more heavy duty suspension system. thanks for all the good pics.

Hey Donkeypunch...Come on by and check it out (heck, you can help with my 'to do' list - JK) You live right next door as far as Waddell goes. At least I'll know where to look for parts if I need them!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Dang, that thing is HUGE
 Would like to see some pics of your suspension set up, som close ups. Looks pretty good though, WAY to big for me though. Some Boggers on there would be sweet!
