Cheap lift

I was wondering about the 1" block in the back and Torsion bars turned up Lift. My friend bought his truck that way. It is an 07 new body style. I measured his tires and they seem to be 34" tall. Will I be able to tuck M/T 16x10 wheels with 33x12.50 under my 03 with this style lift? Im running the 285's on stock wheels and ride height right now.

You will have to do some trimming of the plastic valence most likely. Is your friends tires 305's. If raisings bars i would also do some shocks.

Yeah he has 305's not sure of his rim width though. Will the front end be super hard on bumps? thanks for the gauges I have the boost hooked up, and waiting for a nice day to tap the manifold 4 the pyro.

No problem glad you like them, and it would make ride stiffer if just crank the bars, might consider a add-a-leaf for the rear.

I am not sure width you would want. I think and 8-9 would be about right.

I am mainly shooting for a wider stance to make it look tougher. I dont want real tall tires, but I think the trucks look good with some rubber sticking out of the flares. I think the stock width is 6.75 so Maybe the 9 would be a good improvement.
