Default Need Opinions

Ok guys, I am picking up a 08 sierra Crew cab 4x4 in black this weekend. My plan from the very beginning was to lift it. Decided when I get the money to do a fabtech 6 inch performance lift with the fox coilovers. my question is, they say you can run 35 with this lift, can you go any bigger with out trimming or turning the torsion bars? Also I really like the KMC XD Hoss wheels. (attached below) chrome or black? 18x9 or 20x9 also do I need a wider wheel and what size tires? Any guys with lifted 07-08 or these wheels on their truck, please post pics. thanks

ya it should be coil overs if its a NNBS, atleast thats what i thought lol. I dont think it takes 6" lift to fit 35s on a NNBS... they just about come with 32s from the factory

Are you talking 1500 or 2500? The 1500's utilize coilovers in the front while the 2500/3500 series still uses torsion bars. Either way all of the NNBS trucks are in the sky from the factory so I doubt much lift will be needed to fit 35's.

1500 and I was thinking the same thing. It's actually almost a 7 inch lift I believe.
