Default I finaly got a Z71!!But it needs tires.

So I bought a 2001 silverado ecsb from my girlfriends, grandfather.Its black and has tan leather interior.Only has 73k miles on it.If there's a scratch on it I cant find it.He sold it to me for a great price of $8500.but that stuff doesnt matter,what matter's is my tire situation.it has 245/75/16 tires which should have been replaced a while ago.I was wondering if I could stuff some 34x9.00-16 tsl's on the stock rim with ford key's and t-bars cranked up a lot.If not would the 32x9.00-16 tsl's look to small with stock t-bars cranked all the way? Really need help cause I want to give this truck hell but cant cause I got slicks all the way around.

Yea I am sure you could get those 32's under there, as for the 34's good luck. Most guys run a 35" tire with a 6 inch lift,

The tires you are talking about are a beefy tire. Are you saying the 32x9.00 are a 33.8" tall tire or the 34x9.00 are a 33.8" tall tire?

That will probably fit with the modifications (ford keys/TB) you are doing because its not a very wide tire

RC bars and ford keys might do it on stock wheels

They will fit with rough country bars and ford keys but you will have to do a little bit of trimming and add a zero rate to the rear to level it with the front since you will get almost 3" of lift up front.
