Why does my truck look higher then other 2500s?

[Johnny89345]

The cab and body are a 89 chevy c1500. The roller is a 89 gmc what i thought to be k2500. When i run the vin it says its a 89 gmc 454 4 speed. But its actually a k2500 (higher gross weight vehicle apparently as the auto part store says) with a 6.2 and a th400. The truck had a utility body on it which i cut off. So the reason for this thread is it looks like i can fit 35s easily. With the gaps i have, is that possible? Am i missing something. Also Ill post a pic shorty!

What's a "roller"?

So sombody swapped a diesel and automatic in place of the 454 and manual.... and possibly doors.

Usually 285s/33s.... I'd guess 35's would be a bit big.

A roller is the rolling chassis. I thought that term was used with cars awell as bikes. Everything but the cab and bed was from the gmc.

Maybe just in comparison to the c1500 suspension but its drastically higher.

That looks normal to me. Yea Roller is a common term, does it still have the engine/trans in it?

33's will be the biggest without major cutting or lifting... either 285/75 16 or 305/70 16 Maybe the 1500 is just lower than normal??

Looks like my cc did. If those are 245s? I ran 285s on a stock c2500. They filled out the wheel well great!. Wheels rubbed the control arm a little.

I've heard it before, but it wasn't clear to me what you were talking about without a point of reference.

I don't think it's sitting any higher than my 8-lug truck. I could vary a little by T-bar preload and the specific spring pack you have in the back.

I used the drive from the k2500 6.2 th400. When i jacked the cab/bed off, while rolling the k2500 frame under i had to raise it a 4x4 and deflate the tires. Ill try to gind a pocture of how it used to sit.
