Default Opinions on some tires and lift.

I got a '95 Z71 and am looking at a set of 33x11.50 M/T's and was thinking about putting a 3" suspension lift on it. Do yall think that is too much of a lift for these tires? Here is a link to the tires i am getting. I like the look of the tires but want my truck a little higher too. Thanks for the input!

3" would probably look good.. i got a set of 33"s on my truck now without any lift.. but u might want to research if the 3" and the 6" might be the same amount of work..u might as well go with 6" if i is..

to make it look better go with a 33x12.5...makes it look so much better. I put a levelin kit which was basically a 3 and did the 33x12.5 and looks good

i'm not gonna do a 6" lift with 33's for 2 reasons, first it would cost me out the *** wheras i'm a sophmore in highschool at the moment, and i think it would look odd lifted so high with only 33's and i would get 12.50's but i found some good quality tires, for realativly inexpensive so i'm thinkin about doing the 3" key and block, 33x11.50, powder coated rims, and bushwacker fender flares, opinions?

if you do the 11.50s don't get the fender flares..your tires won't stick out enough for the flares to cover it unless you get a huge negative offset on it....with my 12.50s i got a -12 offset and my tires only stick out maybe a inch and personally if i were to put flares on it i think it'd look retarded

A buddy of mine had a set of MT33s on his Ford.

A 3" lift should do it. Hope you're planning to spend a lot of time in the mud.(buzz-buzz)
