Default rancho lift and 33's?

i might have a chance to get a rancho 4" lift for a really good price soon. what i am wondering is with that lift will my xtreme at 325/60r18 tires look really small on there or will i have to screw myself (tires only have 2000 miles on them) and try to sell those and get some 35's?

Here's what 33's look like with a 2.5" leveling kit and an extra 1" rear block. Add an extra 1.5" and you be the judge.

Maybe it's the picture, but your truck looks lower than mine. I eventually plan on doing the same Rancho lift and I think I'll go with 325/65/18's... about 34.5" or so. You can get them for about $200 each in the Pirelli Scorpions, but it looks like you prefer a more aggressive tire.

Ehhh, it would look better with larger tires but it will still look OK. If I were you I would spend the $$$ somewhere else.

iceman, your truck would look SO much cleaner w/ hide away step bars than those chrome ones. just an idea though.

edit: it'd look taller too.

I completely agree. They are on the mod list. I've got a couple cars to sell first to free up some cash though.

I have also been toying around with the idea of removing my chrome running boards I even did a photoshop on it but I am still undecided
