He just upgraded from a 97 xl with a 4.2 and tons of miles to a 97 xlt 4.6 with 66k. The trouble he is having is he ordered a 5 inch rough country lift and he is torn between 33s and 35s. does any one have any pics of a 5 inch with either size tire they could share?

Thanks Don

 

sorry no pics but 35's definitely....thats a no brainer....33's look tiny with a 3 inch BL lift IMO

 

That's what I told him but he don't wanna listen to me.

 

Just show him a truck with 3 inch BL and 33's and he'll come around...five inches and 33's will look way too small....show him mine...i have 295's and a leveling kit and they look small

 

Alright good idea thanks

 

i have a 98 with the same set up and trust me 33's looked small do the 35's


And by the way im runnin 35's lol sorry.

 

35's fer sure

 

35s or 37s

 

37x13.5's were a tough fit for me on a 6" fabtech, Had to do some deep trimming on the lower valance and here.....


And that was with a deep offset, -24mm I think.
I would say definitely 35's with a 5". If he can get a 35x13.5 on a 12" wheel, thats a nice stance.

 

yeah I have 33s on no lift and a cut valance........I wish I had 35s because with the bars all the way up it actually has too much space in the front IMO, haha..

 

You gonna keep that beast?
If not, I get dibbs on the expy center console... J/K
Keep it.
The best part about keeping it is you get to hang out on here, where the coolest ****'s hang out

 

u had to cut more than me and i only have a 3" body lift

sweet truck
