Are you going to PPF the sides of the trucks to stop the rock chips or put on flares?

 

 

Sad thing about doing gears is that it will costs you an insane amount of money just to re-calibrate the computer correctly. And that's on top of the cost for new gears.

Can’t stand flares. But I have new fenders ordered. Hoping they only take the quoted two weeks to be made and shipped Then I’ll have them painted and put them on. They have a 3 inch bulge so should cover the tires well. And again not overly concerned on gears for the time being. The 8 speed honestly seems to shift better with the larger tires that stock

lapoolboy I really appreciate your opinion. I remember when I shat on your truck??

 

anyhow, if anyone wants more specs or pictures just let me know. I will add, that I am running 2 inch wheel spacers in all of the pictures. These trucks are just way too skinny from the factory.

I’m working on a project to do a 6” front and 4” rear and want to go 35” tires (Either 295/65r20 or maybe 35x?) if possible on stock wheels. What tires are in these pictures? What if any issues did you have with rubbing, and did you run any wheel offsets? With the lift I’m planning it kicks the front wheels out about .25” and was going to run 1.5” wheel spacers to clear spindles/links, etc... Which puts me at about a -28 offset and was wondering what kind of rubbing issues I’m going to run into. Thanks for any insight.

So your truck will be squatting? Please dont say so...

6.5” front and 4” rear is actually level. Ideal would be 6” front and 4.5” rear if I can find them. If not might do 5” rear to leave some rake. That’s not the point of my original question though thanks for pointing that out...

with that setup, you should have no problem running 35's

Why, why, why?

I guess I didn’t pose my question clearly. 1. What  make and exact size are the 35” tires shown on the stock wheels? and 2) with those tires and 2” wheel spacers how much rubbing/trimming is required with a 6” lift? Thanks.

To answer your question in all the pics I’m running the 6” rc lift all the way around as it comes with the addition of 2” drop shackles and 1/2” front top strut spacers as well as 2” wheel spacers on all 4 corners. That setup on 35’s is 35 12.5 20 on factory rims. The new wheels are 37 13.5 on tis 944’s 20x12 with -44 offset. The 35 setup barely brushed the felt fender liner. The 37s rub the bumper and fender lightly at full turn. This is why I’m doing the glass fenders and bumper spacing.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
