It's what we did on my son's '86 CUCV Blazer and I put on my '90 Blazer when it was new. But I discovered how tires took a ridiculous jump on price and that most companies have dropped 11.50/32s. So I went with plan B and robbed the lift/axles/tires off my retired Suburban. Oh well...I'm guilty of ruining a bone stock Jimmy.


Now to put the soft top on. Next step will be winch/bumpers/spare mount. When it needs tires (or as a second set as soon as I can afford it) I'll get 255/85,mount on a set of stock 3/4t wheels I powder coated white,and pop hubcaps back on. It'll look beefy stock that way. I'll have my tall skinnies and this set for flotation.

Man, that looks awesome. I'm a big fan of the tall skinny tires and hubcaps, too. What 255/85 tire are you planning to use?

I really like that just the way it sits.

You have a great combo in that shortbed. Saweet!

That looks tough. It gives me an idea how my white '72 will look with the lift and tires...next!

Here's my 72 K-10

Nice! Was it originally Tangiers (Omaha) Orange w/white top? Looks great.

[birdistheword]

Thanks. No it was just a blue cab and rolling frame when my buddy bought it a few years back. He made it look the way it does now. Kinda funny though I also own a 71 C-20 with the same paint job just darker orange.

Great trucks. I've got an 85 k30 that I just lifted 6 inches. I'm trying to figure out what size tires I can fit and what wheels to get if I want to have a bit of an offset stance. I really like the wheels that 409sbc pwr has. Ideas?
Thanks so much.

I got to keep cutting, but here's my junk.
78 K20 Burb. Factory 465/205 truck with a 14bff.
It now sports a matching 60/14 combo with a twin stick 205, 38x15.50x18 on a 4" lift.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'd lie to say the same to 61K10 about his truck!
