I've got my 1985 K20 with 2-inch blocks and an add a leaf in the rear, and 2-inch lift in front. What is the largest tire size any of yall have squeezed under there with a 2-inch lift?

I'd guess 33 or 35 inch tires. Hopefully someone that knows will comment.

Should be 33" if you want full suspension articulation and no body panel trimming.

A lot depends on the width & offset of your rims.

I’ve run 33 with no lift
Depends a lot on the wheels and if you don’t mind it running a little when you turn in a driveway or something

Skyjacker has a chart:

As others have said...it does depend on the wheel and tire combo and how you use the truck. My opinion is that I want full articulation of suspension without rubbing or trimming fenders.

I got 275/70R18 on my C20 with 1.5 lift blocks in the rear and 454 front coils. They should be 33.4" tall. I'd think 33's or maybe 34's on a 4x4.
