is my truck lifted?
05 Silverado 2500HD 4x4 6.0 4l80e, was a company truck... i am wondering if it is lifted, as it seems to sit pretty high... check pics.
what do you guys think? Im in the process of looking for the rims/tires to buy... thinking i might be able to go with a 35" tire! the current tires on it are 225 70 19.5 (~31.5" tire) with room to spare...
Havent had time to do anything with it yet since i have only had it a week. New wheels/tires and new bumpers are first on the list! It needs a little TLC but will be a nice truck when its done
I think it has added leafs... and possibly a larger block?
they look cranked up a good bit dont they????

how do i go about measuring to see how big of tire i can fit? I assume the wider the tire the worse it will want to rub when turning.....

Hmm, what is up with the dually style wheel/hub? Never seen that on a 2500HD before.
Does it have dual rear wheels?
And yeah, my truck only has 5 leafs.

I have 3 1/4" between the bottom far corner of the front bumper (metal part) to the tire...
and
3 1/4" between the bottom far corner of the fender flare (cab side) to the tire...
so how much bigger you guys think i can go??? the current tire is 32"...
I assume when the steering wheel is turned it will stick out farther than when the wheel is straight (edges of tire when steering wheel turned)....... how do i calculate for how far the edge of the tire will go when turned compared to when it is straight????"
