6" Suspension 3" Body Lift
What's up guys. Ok I have a question for all of ya. I have a 01 GMC Z71. I'm getting a Skyjacker 6" Suspension lift and a 3" Body lift. What size tires can I fit under this thing now? I've been told from 35s to 40s. I don't know what to get. Everyone I talk to tells me something different. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 6" Suspension 3" Body Lift
According to an offroading book I have, you can put 38.5x15 on it with the 6"/3" lift. The same book, however, advises against using any tires over 35"(10 bolt) for any stock front axle (7.5 inch is 31" max). For the rear, the only axle that can have 38" is the 14-bolt. You should put a heavier axle on the front reguardless of what you have now, any possibly on the rear too, and if you want ANY acceleration outside of 4x4 low you should regear too. I would go at Least 4.10:1, possibly look into 5.x:1.

Re: 6" Suspension 3" Body Lift
I have a 93 Sub with a similiar set up but with an RCD suspension lift & 3" body lift, and I roll on 37"x 13.50-15 Pro Comp X-Terrains and had to cut of the inside corners of the fenders, bend in the bumper and trim the chin spoiler, The tires rub when turned at full stuff, But the truck rides hell of a lot better that it ever did stock. Also make sure you gear it like J-Ri said or it will be a dog on uphill and accelaration. Another thing I would change is the rear carrier since it is weak in it's design to begin with, I have an Auburn Ltd slip and it does well for everyday driving an off roading, I should have got a locker but I was just worried about having a ltd slip at the time. Oh, and the reason it was changed was it exploded in a parking lot going 10 mph and I was on 35's then. When getting tires stay with a radial they ride soo much better on the road. Hope this info helps and if you have any other q's feel free to ask. Make sure it sits even since most trucks you'll see have the rear lower for some reason and stay away from blocks!
