I'm wanting to add a body lift to my leveling kit I already have come income taxes. I want more lift but don't want to invest in a suspension lift due to all the miles on my truck. My question is would 33x12.50s look better with a 2" level & 1.5" bl or with a 2" level & 3" bl

3". You'll need that much lift anyway.

My old truck...

 

3" PA body lift

Fully cranked stock t-bars

Weld Racing 16.5x9 wheels

33x12.5 BFG Mud Terrains

 

Loved this truck and it sat mirror to mirror with my buddy's '03 Silverado with a 4" Pro Comp on 33x12.5's.

Well in 2 weeks ill finally have the funding to pull the trigger on this. Going with the zone 3" body lift but I have a few questions for y'all. Does the kit not include gap guards? If not where's the best place to order them? I would love to have rear wheel well liners instead of gap guards but I can't find them for the gmt800 platform. Does anyone know where to look for them? Also what steps should I look into to help hide the frame? The selection for gmt800 rcsb's is pretty slim... 1 more question. I want to keep it on 33x12.50s so how wide can I go with it (has full rc leveling kit already)? Gonna save up and buy some used wheels so I may run some 2" wheel spacers until I get them.

I had the gap guards on my last truck. Ordered them same time and place as body lift. I would go with the 3". Your gonna need all the room you can for a 12.5 wheel.

LOL, Thanks, I do miss it. Although my cousin has it so I get to see it from time to time. Need to get a current pic. It now has cab lights, towing mirrors, and a cowl induction hood.

please get some, I bet that looks great! And are those 33" or 35" claws and how far did they stick out? I love the look. I believe I'm going to run 2" spacers with my stockers and 305s I have currently and when they need replacing I'm gonna try to get a good looking used wheel/tire combo to start with

They were 315/75 R16s, which is the same as a 35, but they measured about 34 1/2 new. They stuck out a lil, not much, had factory backspacing, and the did rub a lil when cranked full lock. To get the pushbar to look right I removed the plastic air dam, did some serious measuring, took a plasma cutter to the frame, and modified and welded the 3/4 ton mounts that came with it back into the frame. Turned out awesome.

Well after digging through some other threads as well I'm now sold on getting wheels and some 35s when my 33s are used up. Looks to good not to

If you watch the backspacing and do some minor trimming you can run 35's. I agree they look awesome. To me a truck looks 10X better with a tire that fills the wheel well than one that has 12 inches of lift and 35's cause the wheels have too much backspacing.
