Tires and lift kits

I am thinking about a 4inch lift on 33s but not sure how it would look. Is that too much lift for 33s. I have a 2017 Silverado

I would think that is too much lift for 33's, that would look goofy. You might want to look into 34's or 35's...

 

Also I would post that same message on this thread.

I am running 305/65r18=33.6x12 on just a 2.5"rough country leveling kit

I run 33's with just a 2" level lift in the front. If you are just going to run 33's, you'll save a small fortune by going with a leveling kit rather than a complete suspension lift.

I'm running 34.25" tires on 3.75" lift.

This is my 2014 Sierra, with a 4" ReadyLift on 33"s. Although I think they don't look bad, I do plan on getting a set of 35"s in the near future.

Hey HT3LA, with your zone 1.5" body lift did you need gap guards to cover the gap between the frame and body or were the factory skirts big enough to cover it? I'm having a tire clearance issue and looks like I may have to have a body lift installed.

I had planned on installing gap guards, but decided not to once I saw how small the gap was after I lifted it. I'll post some pictures today or tomorrow showing the gaps, but I would consider installing the guards in the front wheel wells if you put your truck in mud often only because the body lift leaves a small gap that can cause mud to get in the engine bay.

If you would post some pics that would be great. I don't plan on ever putting my truck in the mud so that's not an issue. I'm more concerned with the appearance.

Personally, I think your truck looks great.

Pics of the front and rear gaps... may be more noticeable if your truck is already lifted high. My lift is only about 4" total between leveling kit and body lift.

Wow. That's not bad at all. Not worth the cost of the gap guards. I called my local shop this morning and had them order the body lift with bumper brackets. He quoted me $600 installed. Dropping the truck off tomorrow.
