Default need help wit lift kit

im thinking of getting a 4 inch trailmaster suspension lift for my 2004 silverado. im worried that might be too small because as of no i have 285 75r16 on it with the torsion bars cranked down. i plan on moving up to a 305. im not looking for anything crazy but i was wondering if anybody has around the same year with some advice or some pics would be very helpful

I've seen a 4 door 05 silverado with a 4 inch on it and true 33 inch nitto mud grapplers not like the 305s you want...it doesn't look bad no, but if you're gonna do it get something thats more like a 34 but make sure its still 12.5 wide or it'll sit a lil funny cause the tires won't look near big enough for the lift. I had 285/75/16 then just did a levelin kit and got 33x12.5s and it sits almost perfect
