Best off-road wheels and tires & 4 inch lift kit

[MikC]

Hello!

 

I got my 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali(5.3l) 3 month ago and this is my first truck so I don't know too much about trucks.

I wanted to lift it for about 4 inches(using lift kit) and get the black off-road wheels and tires. Just lifting no cutting..

 

Does anyone have the same set up like I wanted to do? I really need your help to choose lift kits, wheels and tires for my truck.

Could you guys please share your experience?

 

Thank you so much.

If money is no object and you are serious about rock-crawling and off-roading your 60k full sized vehicle you want a lift kit like this:

You want to upgrade your front struts/springs to coilovers:

You'll want some beadlock wheels in a 16 or 17" version:

Wrapped in some Duratracs or other ultra aggressive A/T tire:

That should set you back about 10 grand if your paying someone else to do all of it. You will have an uber stiff suspension for off-roading so you damn sure better be out there on a regular basis or you will wonder what the hell you just spent so much money on. Off-roading is fun and seems like a great idea, but rock crawling sucks @$$ and their aren't that many dirt/forestry roads that you truly need an "off-road suspension for" that aren't going to pinstripe the every living $hit out of your car anyway. Not to mention you need front and rear bumpers a full set of skids, etc. If you are more interested in Dune/Beach/Baja style off-roading you need a long travel kit, to which they don't make yet for the T1's. 

 

I say all of this to say that you might be better off with a leveling kit and a new set of wheels tires. Save yourself a lot of $$$ for something that might not suit you.

First question is what do you want to do with it?

 

Loaded with stuff or just driver (and passenger(s))

Paved roads?

Gravel roads?

Mud?

2 track trails?

Mall crawl?

Freeway commuting? 

Rock crawl?

Deep sand?

@redwngr it is just for passenger and It is not for a hard core offroad. I will probably go for off road comping some times.

 

@DustSierra I agree.. I bought 3.5 RC lift kit and Method MR701 17*9 wheels.
