There you go. The 33" tires you are thinking of getting are small for a truck with a lift.

Chris

I agree. He just learned of a 22x11 wheel and researching that option now. Time will tell. Hopeful a 35 tire will fit with that wheel without rubbing. Ordering the lift kit tomorrow.

Got a little setback today. Took the truck in for an inspection and the mechanic drove it off the lift and did $2500 damage. They are a great shop and were sick about it. It knower over an oil catch barrel and hit a white pole. Poor mechanic was having a bad day.

Rubbin is racing! This should be a sign to go for the NASCAR look. :thumbsup:

Funny. I have a 2wd I could make Nascar style. I would hate to lower a 4wd and loose the snow capabilities.

Explain that to the Quattro running circles around your lifted truck....

To do it right, think about the GMC Syclones. AWD, center diff, turbo V6. That would be the way to do it. Modernize that, with IRS.

A regular 4x truck could be lowered. But it would have issues with the the drivetrain; regular 4x4 system would be too bound up on the street. Would have to have a differential or something between the transfercase and front end, ala Audi Quattro or Syclone.
