Looking for ideas on how much lift and tire size I want for my 67. I'm thinking 6-8" with 35-37" tires. Post your pics and tell what you have! Thanks

Looks like both trucks are running the stock 6 lug 4by rallyes. (same thing i got)

I'm running the same thing on mine too. 4" spring lift and a set of 35" BFG's. I'm running A/T's instead of M/T's though.

DarkHawk · 07-23-2011, 10:02 AM

Both of the trucks that have the 4" lift and 35's look good. Thinkin this is what I may do.

DarkHawk · 07-23-2011, 10:03 AM

Curious what the offset of the factory rally's is. 4.5"....5"?

rocket20 · 07-23-2011, 12:17 PM

I'm running 37"s on 22x12s with a 6" lift going up 2" in the front tho just for more clearance while turning rubs a hair now.

Here is my 68, and im runnig 35's on a 6 inch lift http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1314067524 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1314067524

bad_turbo · 08-25-2011, 03:13 AM

my 67 burb with 37 inch tires, not sure on lift kit since it is really old but somebody told me it was a factory "high boy" lift, whatever that means....also for sale

**special-K** · 08-25-2011, 07:49 AM

Well,there's no such thing as GM factory highboy lift. Must be a myth. That's what they call the pre-78 Ford F250s and that's how they all came.

coggonobrien · 08-25-2011, 08:20 AM

i thought the high boy was special order, and they just added big ass blocks. pretty sure there's a lot of non-high boys out there

Nope. All 1967-1977.5 4x4 F250's were called "high boys." They had higher-arched front springs, 4" blocks in the back, and a divorced transfer case. GM never made any such thing, all of the 4x4's of the same tonnage sat the same from the factory.

bad_turbo · 08-28-2011, 08:34 PM

Well, thanks guys for all the comments about my lift. I was just going by what somebody told me recently since I got the springs off of a rusted out '68 GMC 4x4 3/4 ton truck that I bought off a guy a few years back, and he has owned it since 1971, and when I asked him about the lift, he told me it wasn't lifted, this was how he got it from the original owner. So, I never was able to figure out what kind of lift it had since nobody seemed to know.

**special-K** · 08-30-2011, 08:02 AM

That's cool. Just setting things straight,so now you know,as well as anyone else who reads this. It's hard to say what's under your Suburban.Back in the day,even before any such thing as a "lift kit",guys would take a trip to a spring shop to get what they wanted. My first 4wd was a '69 Dodge and there was no lift kit made. I bought a set of 14.50/37 Armstrongs when they first came out. I arched my springs on an anvil and added a leaf.

Here's 13/37 Super Swampers,8" wheels,and 7" of lift. Wheeled it wildly and never rubbed:
