6 in TOTAL on 285's

[Z71LOVE]

Whats up fellas, I'm new to the forum and am searching for some pics. As of now I have a 95 ECSB with 3in blocks and the torsion bars cranked all the way and I'm running 285/70/17 on a 2004 Tahoe Z71 wheel that is 17x7.5.

I'm thinking about going with a 3in body lift as well and running 35's. But i dont know of any 35's that will fit on a 7.5in wide rim. which means i will have to buy new wheels too. Does anybody know of any 35's that will fit my 7.5in wide rims?

COuld I get some pics posted with 5-6 inches of total lift with 285's or 33's as well thanks

Unless your wanting to run a 13+ inch wide tire you can run a 35 on your wheel. There are many many many people out there running 35s on stock wheels.

As far as your block and crank situation I would be more concerned about that than running the 35s. Decrank some and if you have to have it level change your rear block to a 2 inch or maybe even 1.5 inch.

agreed a 12.50 or thinner 35 will work fine. 7.5 inch is wider then some stockers too.

and just because I love ******* out my old trucks this is my old 98 with the specs in the sig.

why do you suggest de cranking?

 

[dirtyhick42]

Because you are killing your front end being fully cranked. Usually when you have 2 inch blocks and are cranked to level your angles are pushing it.
Trust me your front end hates you being cranked as much as it is.

 

[Swims350]

agreed, it causes the front end parts to wear out much faster. tie rods, ball joints, and maybe even wheel bearings later.

Plus to run stock wheels you don't need that much crank a body lift is enough to clear what you have and sometimes can clear the 35's as well.

With 3" bl and 2" blocks and about 1" of crank on 35s, saves the front end and has no issues with clearing
