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 tire? Any guys with lifted 07-08 or these wheels on their truck, please post pics. thanks

No torsion bars on the GMT900's. (1/2 tons).

haven't seen any NNBS with those rims on... they are nice though, make sure you get them with the proper backspacing (4.5") and the blacks look sweet!! i think a 20X9 would be more then enough for 35X12.5

or add a leveling kit on top of the lift to get an extra 2" and go for some 37s!!

Go with 18's!!! You can get more rubber that way. That is what a 4x4 truck should have. I dumped my OEM 20's for 18's and some nice meaty tires and it was the best thing I have done to this truck yet.

Iam going with 325/65R18 on the black Hoss with a fabtech 6 inch lift. Anyone put a body lift or ran tires bigger then 35's on the NNBS trucks? Also was told you can't do the leveling kit and the 6 inch lift. I guess the 6 inch replaces the 2 inch spacers.
