Re: 4 inch lift coming!!!!!

Gonna look great!I`m considering the same for the white GMC.It`s got ride height deficit disorder.Definately under stock height.Since it may sell,I`m considering taking the springs off the ol`CheyenneSuper since they`re about 2" up from stock.Keeping the 33s,or if I keep,getting(also)a set of 285/75s on stock wheels that I have...new and powdercoated white.Maybe 255/85s for a true "tall skinny" stocker look.If I keep the "Super" she`s goin`up with big meats and 8' Stepside.I hate to deface her,but she`s gotten to where I couldn`t afford to properly restore as factory and no one sees it for it`s potential.I can`t wait to see the shorty with a healthy stance.

Re: 4 inch lift coming!!!!!

Yeah,people will notice the "beef" you gave that truck,now.Like my GMC,nobody takes as much notice as with the blue & white Chevy.The colors are nice,but most guys don`t take notice until you add some "s.

Re: 4 inch lift coming!!!!!

yea tim its fresh the date on the digi was wrong again lol.. i can spare the pb cause my friend while setting up the front end added that extra spring in the front so he had the u bolts out so they came off easy and as far as the back i just put the 14 bolt in and had to cut off the old u bolts so i used new ones.. so i belive for once ill be alright... yall think ill have any chance of these tires rubbin any? 33x15.50x16.5 on 9.75 rims just with the 4 inchs? i sure hope its gonna be good to go...

Re: 4 inch lift coming!!!!!

I would think you would really have to flex alot with 4" of lift for them to rub.

Re: 4 inch lift coming!!!!!

I agree with Randy,you`ll be fine.Something tells be you`ll never flex it enough to find out if they`d rub.
