Looks Awesume! Came Out Great!

Do you know the spring rate on those? other than that how does it ride so far? I would like to know how it is after you have flexed a few times to get things broke in...
Next what size tires did you use? 33's or 35's

Thanks Eric

ktear · 02-19-2005, 11:03 PM

I went with the 33x12.50 for the tires.. I thought about about 35's, but didn't think the 4" lift was enough. I'm actually not sure on the tire brand, the guy at the 4x4 shop showed me the tread pattern and gave me a great price.. I just said yes..

It's a little more bouncy then I expected. It's the first truck I've driven with a lift. Will the springs settle in a little and not be so bouncy?

Those tires look like TRXUS mud terrian's..

Chevy Muscle · 02-19-2005, 11:53 PM

Is there much road noise? I have some 33" mud terrains and they are LOUD.... I hate them.

looking sweet .... do not want to get in a head on collision with you

ktear · 02-20-2005, 10:18 AM

Yep, their the TRXUS mud terrains.. went out and looked this morning. They make a unique noise on the HWY at 65, but not real bad around town at all. I plan on putting on a new exhaust here soon, so hopefully I don't hear the tires at all.

Thats a nice lookin' K5. I know of a place to get a nice dual exhaust, CHEAP!
