Truck in progress....Need Help!!



I'm new to this website, so i thought i'd post some pics of my truck...let me know what yall think...it's a 99...125,000 miles...Torsion bars cranked, 305/70/16 maxxis buckshots....16x10 ion alloys...i'm thinking about getting a 5in RCD lift, but i just bought these tires and not really wanting to buy no more anytime soon...i was wondering what yall would think it would look like with 5in lift on 33's...or would they look too small???? all help is appreciated...

a 305 70 16 is a 33" tire already. If you are going with a 5" lift you will need 35s to help fill out your wheel wells.

33's would look a bit small with the lift, I like the way it looks right now

Personally I think it looks great as it sits. Looks real nice. If you decide to go bigger I'm not sure that 35s won't look a little undersized as well - 5" is quite a bit (I'm running a 3" lift (BL) with 35s (almost) and it looks just about perfect imho). Anyone running 35s on 5" with pics for reference?

Welcome Aboard this Great Forum That is one nice truck you have, I love that color and I couldnt agree more with wrobo23 it looks awsome the way it sits now but if you want to go bigger 35`s would look great with 5" s of lift

thanks guys....i was debating on a lift or leaving it like it sits...i jus want to go a lil bigger and i'm definatly not gonna do a body lift...i hate body lifts...and when i started pricing lifts a 4in cost just as much as the RCD 5in, and everyone claims the RCD is one of the best, so i kinda set my mind on that...but i'm not really wanting to go with 35's cause my trucks got the 4.6 and the 305's do enough on gas mileage, and i'm not looking to regear it or nothing...
