Need a lift but not too high!
« on: February 24, 2011, 12:19:03 pm »
Hey, I have a 1985 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 305 in it. I want to buy a set of rims and good agressive looking tires, like Nitto Trail Grappler MT on the 17x9 Ultra Baron Machined w/Black Accent but I can't find any that would fit my truck at the current ride height. I have some worn out P235/75/R15 on it now.

So, do I need a lift or can I just buy new coils and shocks?

     I am assuming this is a c truck and not a k truck ?  Makes a big difference on what people tell you.

     I own k trucks, but do a search for "c10 lifts" in this catagory and a whole page pops up, have fun reading and decide which you like best.
