Vortec Lover's '98 K1500 Build

I really like my Courser A/T2's, so I might upgrade to the C/T or M/T when I get the bigger tires.

A/T - (what I currently have, only in 285/75/16) - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mft-52225/overview/

C/T - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mft-73755/overview/

M/T - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mft-73229/overview/

(I can get them local a lot cheaper than that... just giving the links for the tires)

when I got to work it looked like this-(picture taken when I got home after the snow) it had started to drizzle and with the wheel/water combo the truck got a nice powerwashing

And if someone tries to merge into your lane, they are stuck with some nice round tire marks and your truck is still nice and clean

Okay fellas, I'm getting closer to blowing some money:

4" lift? - i would ditch the BL and ride on these tires a little while or hold out for some used 35's... need to save a ton of $$$ for college, so can't get too crazy

315/75/16 tires? - block and crank and go as is

I would stay with what you have and get tires

Save your money for school, it's much more important......

I might disagree

I've got plenty of money, I just like going off budgets. If I have say... $14,000 laying around I'm not going to put it ALL into one thing, especially a toy. I don't have a girl, other hobbies, or anything else to blow money on... this is the one place I splurge once or twice a year (okay, I already got the rims, but forget that ) The rest is getting put away.

I'm a generous penny pincher, that's all.
