3" lift questions

[haks310]

Trust me bro, many of the guys here have been around the block with these trucks and know what they are talking about.

Save your cash and get your tranny fixed.

i think body lifts look stupid!!! IMO. GET THE TRANNY FIXED FIRST

any good tires are gonna run you out to your limit...

add rims trans and lift to that...

way over budget.

I found used rims and tires for $350 and the body lift was $170. So I have $480 to fix trans and a complete rebuild kit is only $150 or a whole trans I found for $500. I also like to do stuff backward, if I have to I'll drive it with no reverse, haha. I'm not going for something really cool or expensive just a cheap nice looking tahoe. I always said that if I got a truck or anything I would never waste money on a body lift but I just want 33s on my tahoe and I found the tires and wheels so cheap I knew it must have been a sign to just go the cheap way. haha. I just really want to know what do I need to finish the cheap way out if I have left over money after fixing the trans?

It will just clear 33's...on the stock tires with a light trim and some torsion bar crank.

Our advice is only as good as the people that follow it.....

Did you mean to say stock wheels, just want to make sure?

 

[bowtiefreak]

yup, stock wheels. I used to run a 305 on mine with no trim and no crank. They rubbed but they fit

 

[Zrxrider]

What are the width of the stock wheels, the ones im getting are 15x10.

 

[haks310]

Depends on the wheel but you are looking at about 7 inches with a +31mm offset.

 

[Zrxrider]

I might just do a little trimming?

 

[bowtiefreak]

a 10" wide wheel will rub a good bit. The stockers are 7" wide. I am running an 8" wide now with a 12.5" tire.
