67-72 guys, what's your lift and tires? I want your pics and info! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JMC_72 · 10-09-2014, 09:55 PM

Tryin to figure out the right setup so I'd like to see yours! Right now I'm stock suspension with 235-85-16's(31.7in tire).

**JIMs70GMC** · 10-12-2014, 01:59 AM

2" tuff country HD front springs, 4" unknown brand rear springs (factory block removed)

33" on 15x10 wagon wheels

Chevy1TonFun · 10-13-2014, 09:28 AM

Custom 12" springs and 3" body lift. Sits on 39.5 IROK Super Swampers

JMC_72 · 10-13-2014, 03:43 PM

Jim that looks good! I like it.

1ton that is massive. Looks badass.

As far as I know mine is stock suspension with 235-85-16 tires.

haha wish I could help with this one, but you don't get much of an idea with just a frame.. im running a 4 inch ORD lift with 32 inch tires, I will be upgrading to 33s or 35s once the truck is finished

joeydurango · 12-13-2014, 01:05 AM

TC 2.5" lift, 33x10.5 R15 BFG's. Digging it so far.

**71blksuper4x4** · 12-14-2014, 11:24 PM

4" Rancho 35 bfgs

jhiggy94 · 12-16-2014, 03:34 PM

For you guys running a 4" lift with 35's, do you get any rubbing when turning/going over bumps? I love that look but i heard from some guys that this will lead to fender rubbing. (Sorry for the thread hijack)

**71blksuper4x4** · 12-16-2014, 04:03 PM

I never had any rubbing issues even on bumps. My wheels on this combo are 8" wide. You would probably rub with 10" wide rims. Trevor

My dads truck has a 4 inch lift with 35" 12.50 15s and no rubbing, but when it's flexed really hard the front edge of the inner fender is close but it will not rub even when you turn.

rwolf9653 · 12-16-2014, 09:49 PM

I am running 4" and 315/75r16's on 10" rims. I do not rub on full steer as long as it is flat ground.

sboris · 12-17-2014, 12:15 PM

X2. Exact same set up

JMC_72 · 12-27-2014, 11:06 AM

There are some really good lookin trucks in here!

Let's see some pics! My K5 with a 4" lift and 33" BFGs. I'll probably drop the lift to 2 to 2.5".

JMC_72 · 12-27-2014, 11:27 AM

Good lookin blazer!

JMC_72 · 12-27-2014, 11:29 AM

sboris · 12-27-2014, 11:35 AM

Great pics. Jmc72, clean truck. Like those mirrors.
Hey Pete, I think 2.5 would be perfect on that short wheel base. Of coarse looks bada s now..

Thanks! Thanks for the added pics. Stock height or a lift your K20 will look great. I kept stock height on my K20. If I make a change I'd go 2" over stock.

Thanks! I'm worried about the center of gravity, especially with no roll bar, and damage from my GF grabbing onto to the GB door, dash pad, console, etc. to scramble in (even when I help) so want to drop it. I may re-use the springs on my K1500 and get her some really tall high heels

**landy** · 12-27-2014, 12:14 PM

Hey JMC_72, I'm curious as to how the positive battery cable is routed to the battery from your Warn 8274. I just purchased a used Warn for my '72 Blazer with same style of bumper and am installing it.

Thanks!

**CUSTOM/10** · 12-27-2014, 12:41 PM

275/70/17's which is about 33" tale but I think a little narrower than 12.5 and a 2.5" Skyjacker soft ride lift.

sboris · 12-27-2014, 02:12 PM

Gary, thats a beautiful truck. Love the color and stance. Cant wait to see this thing on the road.

Yeah i know what you mean lol. My wife is short with bad knees. I scored these a while back. Just trying to figure a way to mount back to the chassis without drilling into the back of my rocker.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-27-2014, 02:31 PM

Shawn those are slick - apparently the rocker boxes were replaced on my K5 by the PO because steps had been welded to the OEM boxes. Too bad he tossed the OEM pieces out - I'm (probably wrongly) imagining Hickey folders gone to the landfill. I actually have a folding little step stool I keep in the cab too - helps when I need to get to the carburetor, etc. under the hood.

Ditto on all the trucks here - I never tire of looking at 4wd's

**americanmusc1e** · 12-27-2014, 02:33 PM
