Yup they work out to being a 33" tire. With your truck being a '95 it already has the correct spindles to use C2500LD front rotors. However...since you need to lift anyway you might as well order new spindles that are ment for the 1 1/4" rotors which pretty much every one for a 93+ truck will be. I suggest looking at Canuck Motorsports out of BC for your lift parts. The Diff that would be most ideal for what you want to do is a 14 b semi floating diff. Usually found under trucks with the F44 package and under Diesel K1500s. The F44 trucks you can id by seeing the F44 RPO code in the glove box.

Here is a link for Canuck Motorsports

any ever able to put a 700r4 in there 95? i know of the electrical issues but i think i can get around that (ran my own pc and electronics repair business since 2000 so got the skills lol)

also can i swap the non abs 2 zone braking system from the 90 into the 95? mostly bc i hate gm abs units and the pain in the butt it is to bleed them lol

after spending a while sanding the pass side door i forgot about the hole in it and checked the bottom edge, sure enough its rotted so i ended up swapping the pass side door also, took 1/2 the time tho for this one. and less guessing rofl. next is the bed, from what i saw on a few youtube vids its just 4 bolts + ground strap + your light harness to remove ?, 18mm for the main bolts?
