GMT400 Lift Guide

No problem man, happy to help. By the way, how are you getting 34" tires? Are they 295/75R16?

34x10.5-15 super swamper tsl. Its a discontinued size.

Ok, gotcha...I've been looking for 295s because I'm gonna put a body lift on and dont quite want to go with 35s, but I want bigger than 33s. Problem is that 295s are a pretty rare size so I can't find them used and buying new isn't in the budget right now

Yea I can def understand that. Thats why im buying these used 34" when they wear out I will prob go to 35" or 36" at that time.

what are the specs on this truck if you know this is the look im looking for

Looks to be a 4-6" lift with 35's on 16's or 17's

 

[90chevstepside]

Actually. That looks like it might be a 6" kit that's cranked way up to fit 37's. Here's a shot of mine with 6" lift cranked a whole lot (too much) and running 37's on 17's

If not mistakin that truck is a 6" RCD lift (Race Car Dynamics, knuckle lift) with 35's. I Can remember looking into this truck at one time when local shop had the RCD lifts on sale.

What is all this talk of cranking them up? like how much higher could you make it by doing that?

Generally you can crank your torsion bars to gain 2-2.5" lift. I would recommend only going 1-1.5" max to keep smooth ride and keeping the front end from premature wear. An allingment should be done afterwards.

How would one "crank" it up?
