Question 34's with around 5-7 inches of lift?

i just got my new tires last friday, Toyo Open Country 285/75/17 (34/11.5/17) and im thinkin bout liftin my truck a few more inches. think thatd look alright or would i be wishin i bought bigger tires?

right now the only lift my trucks got is aftermarket torsion keys, and i havent got blocks yet to level out the back lol but theyre comin soon.

Im so glad you posted those pics. I have almost the same truck and wanted to see what it looked like with the torsion keys (I will be running 33's though). Looks awesome. I will def. be putting those on my truck!

yeah im really glad i did it. i got a 3" lift out of mine in the front, and im bout to buy some 4" blocks to replace the 2" factory ones to level out the back. next might be a body lift, i cant decide. and it looks alot more lifted in person than it does in these pics.

I don't know colton, I think that stance is perfect. Those 34's fill up the wheel wells and look sick. I say keep it as is because the next step up is starting to get expensive, if you go any higher with that body lift your ride quality will suffer so a proper suspension lift is in order plus when you go up past 35" tires it's a really good idea to re-gear so your low end torque doesn't disappear. I'm sure it's nice to have a truck that's bigger than the one next to you at the stop light but *#ck it, I say leave it alone it looks good!
