'Nother noob from OR
« on: April 12, 2011, 05:57:03 PM »
Hey all I just picked up a '85 GMC Sierra it's lifted 4 inches with 36s, Goodwrench 350 with a sm465 It's mostly a DD but it does get some action once in a while!
anyway here she is! about to downsize to 31s for now just for better mileage and such

Welcome from Arizona. Nice truck, is the nose lower than the front or is it just the picture?

Looks good. If you go to smaller tires, your engine will run at a higher RPM, decreasing mileage...

Lol true. Ok then I want to save my poor little 10 bolts

slammed It's the picture.

And I'm getting a good deal on tires and rims because atm the 36s don't match and I have one 35 up front due to a blow out.

Looks nice. I would go no smaller than 33"s or you'll ruin the look.
