Hey fellas, I picked up a 93 c1500 ecsb last year and started asking questions/poking around about lift possibilities and tire sizes. I thought I was set on a CM 4" spindle, 2" block and was gonna pull the trigger this year but now that I am revisiting the idea I think I'll need to put 33's on it as anything smaller won't give me the proportioned look I want. The problem though is that the total cost of 33s and the lift kit is quite a bit more than I want to spend. So now I am thinking of another option... can you make some recommendations?
Basically I would like to level the truck, and beef the tires up a bit as I think the stock size ones look small. If I lift/level the front 2", what's the biggest tire I could run on my stock 15 wheels and what extra height would I gain from it? Also, does it ever make sense to go with a bigger wheel itself? Say upsize to a 16" or 17". Is there a reason for/against that, or is it just esthetics because overall diameter is what matters when it comes to fitting in the front wells? I am not against minor trimming either if necessary.
