What is the biggest tire size you can fit on a stock 99 Z71?(stock 265 75 16)

also does any one sell a body lift for the same truck? Im just looking for a 2 or 3 inch lift.

The biggest you can possible fit is 305/70,s and thats pushing it without a lift. I know 285.s will fit with no rubbing. If you opt for the 305's, you may have th crank the t bars 4 round or so. 285's may also require this depending on how low your front end is.

Performance Accesories makes a 3" body lift. I personally hate body lifts, but to each his own.

Me too. If you want maximum clearance get a suspension lift.

maybe something like this???

Of course you might have to make a couple of adjustments!!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

I plan on getting a RCD racing 6" lift soon, and 35's. That's plenty big for me. Its not so big that its unrealistic to drive, but looks better than stock.

Yeah, I'd stay with 285's or 305's with only a 2-3" lift.

Who cares about trucks though if you have a Dart like that! Man, that thing's sweet!

If you're going with a 6" than definitely go with a full drop kit. The RCD drops the front diff 4.5 inches just like the Rancho. CST, ProComp and many others all make true 6" kits that drop the front diff a full 6" and will keep your T-bar angles good. If you do decide on getting a knuckle kit I've heard great things about the new superlift F.I.T. kits.
