Default Who has 305/65/18's on their GMC/Chevy 2500 HD?

Any one out their running this set up on their GMC/Chevy? I would love to see some pictures of how this look. Can you get by with a leveling kit or do you need a lift?

Thanks.

What's that in in? 33/12 or 34/12?

With just turning the keys Up I'd bet you could fit them, but may take some trimming. I think guys have put 35's on without a lift, but it takes cranking the torsion bars all the way and trimming a decent amount.

There's definitely pics at dieselplace.com to check out.

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=320674 shows 35's no lift.

You'll have to lift it I have a 2500 Avalanche with 285 65 18 summer tires and winter tires are 285 75 16 and the torsion bars are all the way up and my old HD was the same way

I have 325/60/18's on now. thats 33" tall, 13" wide. It did fit with the torsion key lift but I would highly reconmend against the key lift kit. It stood and looked really nice but rode terrable. I had it on for 2 years and my front end got wasted because of the keys. I changed it to a 5" REAL lift and its like a new truck! If you dont want to spend the money on a lift than go with something a little smaller. I' see if I have any pics.

That'd fit with minor TB turn up I think, a lot of it will have to do with the backspacing of the wheels.

However, if you have the cash a lift is way more fun. And it'll improve the ride a ton.

cognito makes a good leveling kit..more expensive then turning the keys, but rides very nice and wont wear out your front end.
