1998 Sierra K1500 ECSB w/ Vortec 350.

I just picked this up yesterday. Plan on leveling and rims/33's to start. Any ideas on rim and tire combos?

Will the stocks keys do the trick? Do I still need blocks and will they work with the air bags?

The stock keys will crank to the bumpstops; but you shouldn't go that far. Aftermarket keys do nothing. Rear lift blocks are what you are talking about? If you crank a lot then I'd add 1" blocks if anything. Will in no way whatsoever affect your air bags.

Nice truck, welcome to the forum!

yes stock keys will do it and you can run rear blocks if you want, some do 1 inch some do 2 or 3 but I'm with Chris 1 inch block or nothing and crank to level. Anything higher will cause bad ride and can cause front end parts to have bad angles and wear out very fast.

Aftermarket keys will do that same thing very fast, overcrank, rough ride and wear out the front end.

Ok, thanks all for the advice. I am not looking for a huge lift or a rough riding truck so I will stick with the stockers and get some 1" blocks for now.
