My GMC 2019 Sierra 1500

HiI 

 

HI, I am new to the truck world and new to this group. This is my truck and it actually has a 3" lift. Also, 33s and 17" Wheels. What do you think? I originally had this with a 2 inch level and am thinking I should have kept it that way because the 3" doesn't look much higher and it is not level now making a big gap in the rear wheel well. If I had to do it all over again I would have gotten 35s with 6" lift  but can't do that now. Think it looks good now or do you think I should put the level back on or lower the back end to level it out?

Looks good nice job!

Looks good but I think 35 inch tires would be perfect without lifting it more, 6 inch lifts are too high in my opinion

Which lift kit did you go with? I think it looks great. You'll appreciate the rake whenever you haul a heavy load.

i had a 3in lift on my gmc elevation with 1'' of rake and i loved it......never got around to putting tires on it as i moved to 2500......3in is perfect though

 

i had options to go higher another 1'' in front with my setup, but didnt want without diff drop kit

 

i used the bed of the truck to haul so it leveled out with load....I like a lil bit of rake anyway

Just need bigger tires. Put 35's on with that lift and it will look a million times better than any 6" lift. The reason you don't like it now is the same reason people with 6" lifts and 35's look dumb. It's all about proportions. The less wheel well the better. You also don't want your wheels poked out like roller skates to which yours aren't.

DustSierra, mine stick out about 3/4 “ which I like and is perfect. Also, 35s would rub like hell. My 33s already rub a little when fully cranked. They are wide tires. This image is 6” with 35s and same wheels as mine. I like this look. Will probably do this next time.

Wow, that's good mileage! 5.3? I'm waiting on my 2022 elevation diesel still but my 2011 F150 with 33's only gets 14 mpg

No it’s just a base model 4.3L and I am upgrading it myself.
