6inch lift with 33's

So anybody running a 6inch lift with 33's?
Want to see how they look.

I want to put a 6inch kit on my Yukon but with only a 305 gear set up ( not regearing anytime soon) anything more than 33's and my tranny will scream kill me now. Lol.

I would like 35's but ya way to much for my tranny and gear set up.

Right now I have stock tires on the stock 17inch rims.

Thanks all.

unless you run 12-14” wide wheels it’ll look goofy I’ve had 35s on my Tahoe ever since I lifted it at like 275,000 miles and now have over 400,000 and I’ve never torn my transmission or rearend out I dog the shit out of it too!
I ran 33s when I had just a leveling kit

View attachment 441096you got a pic of your set up leveled with your 33's? If so let me see it.
Both of these setups were 22x14 on 35/13.50 and 24x14 on 35/15.50s

Ya but 305 is a weak gear set up for my GMC Yukon. So I was thinking bout 33's on my stock wheels on a 6inch kit. Obviously I would need to run wheel spacers up front and back as my track width is getting pushed out. So atleast 1.50 to 2 inches up front and .50 in the rear if I remember my box lift kits math right.

35's on my stock 17's would be better, but again to much tire for the gears and it would be more of a slug than it is now. Even with a custom tune.

So I was thinking a 5inch kit and 33's might fit perfectly together looks wise.

With my fabtech it was actually the opposite I got 2” spacers in the rear and .5” up front could probably do a 1” though but I diddnt want to trim my studs shorter fintech it don’t bother me that much

Ya I'm looking at the 5inch RC lift but with upgraded coilovers upfront for a better ride. That way I can still run 33's on my 17's with wheel spacers of course.
Then again I might change my mind and go with the 5inch BDS cause with that lift you can use stock 17's and run 33's without any wheel spacers.

I just wish I had time to run my own lift that I could make at work and piece together other paets but we are just busy and that includes the Lazer plasma table.
