Bigger tires

[Orpedcrow]

Lowered, lifted, H.P. motor, bone stock…it’s all good. As long as it’s teal, like @Orpedcrow truck.

I fixed that statement for you

Here we go. I'm not even gonna tell you that blue is definitely not the best color, and that black is the best stock color, yet for custom Gun metal grey is sick! Woops I just did.

I’ve had 31s on my 2wd when it was all stock. WITH stock wheels

I had 33s on there but they rubbed horrendously on the fronts when turning. Fit fine on rear. Once I did a body lift the 33s fit fine.

This was on a stock height truck

I have a three inch bl, and the previous owner ran 32's on stock wheels with no problem

Top pic is with 33x12.5 and bottom pic is withb35x12.5. Both on 15x10 steel wheels. With 3 inch body 3 inch suspension. I had 4:56 gears and a Eaton locker. Came with 3:08s and open diff from the factory and with 35 it was a complete D O G.

When I was younger I used to want to lower my truck.
Now I live in the mountains and want ground clearance for snow and huge boulders on the trails I drive and hunt, lifting seems to make sense.

The question is, can I afford to do so safely, (and affordably), with the front end GM has provided me with the GMT400?

The tires on the 99' Suburban look anemic, in my opinion. The design is very cool.
Accepting the design engineers opinion on the final product, (ie:tire size) is very difficult, from a 4WD perspective. (Mine is a 10.5" full floater with 8 lugs).

Every photo of the lifted version, with larger tires (done properly), looks like the way it should have been delivered. (This is planned by GM). The lifted version were photographed before the trucks were even sold at the showroom.

The parts to lift the front end properly are not cheap.

Must mod truck.... Must mod truck...
It's a lifestyle... I suppose.

31x10.50's on a dead-nuts stock RCSB C1500. They fit but I thought they looked a little tight on the front. Stock wheels.

A new set of tires and wheels will change the whole look of a vehicle so I get why he would want to. It's a new look that's cheaper than buying a new truck.
