Title: Height after lift
Post by: krafty33 on November 16, 2009, 08:56:05 am

Can you guys tell me what your vehicle height is after a six inch lift with 33 inch tires. I am looking at the height from the ground to the top of the cab. I just need to know if I will be able to get mine out of the gargage after the lift. I have a 76 K10 longbox

Wish I had a cab on mine to measure it for you, but I can tell you that I have a 4" lift and 33's and that is all I can fit in the garage with a standard size bay door. I have to hold the door up to get it in.

And if you have a 6" lift and 33's it is going to look dorky....you will want 35-44's with 6" of lift.

If your throwing on 33's you better go with a 4in lift. A 6 in would just look goofy with that tire size.

Here's a pic of my k10 with 6 in lift and the old 33's on her.

My 78 Blazer has a rough country 6" lift, 33" tires on 8" wide rims.  It measures just under 7 ft from the ground to the top of the cab.
