73-87 Chevy _ GMC Trucks > The Highs (Raising/Lifts)
2wd lift?
Derekz93:
I have a 81 c20 long bed 2wd that I just swapped to a big block.
anyways I would really like to lift it to clear 37’s. I’d be okay with 35s is that’s the best I can get.
I’ve noticed and read up that nobody makes a kit for this anymore and it is possible but you need to swap some parts from a newer model truck? Anyone have the details on this?
I’m asking because I don’t really wanna do a 4wd conversation or cab swap to a 4wd. I live in Los Angeles.
Thanks in advance guys

Look into front spindles that have built in drops as a start.
Taller shackles for the rear?

I like this question as I had a similar one but not wanting to go that big with tires. I would be happy with 33 or 35s.
Are you wanting to go bigger for the look of it or do you plan on taking it off road? Just asking out of curiosity. I live in Orange County but I don’t keep my truck there. Where I keep it there are a lot of off roading trails so I was thinking larger tires for maybe some minor off roading...maybe?

Keep in mind, changing the tire diameter changes the overall performance of your truck.
Your engine produces a max torque (muscle) at a certain RPM.
If you tire size moves you below that peak, you will be struggling unless you shift to a lower gear.
Having said that, if you're off-roading and going deep, over time you will develop other issues.

JohnnyPopper,
You are a never ending fountain of knowledge!
Can I hire you as my over haul manager? Lol
Great advice as always. Thank you!
