Bumpers has 20x10 (4.5" BS) with 33x12.5s on just keys and a 1.5" body I think, not sure how much trimming was involved

thanks alot for your input guys
The problems that will come from adding the new keys will be the same as from just cranking you factory keys. SO just turn what you have up some. You can get about 2 in from the factory keys but dont go over that. The short term reward of the amout of lift isnt worth the head ache of all the ball joints you will be replacing.
DO NOT STACK BLOCKS! Go with a 3 in block and an add a leaf. if you need more than that, it will come with the suspension lift you bought.

Kalebm22 I am going through the same issue and need some advice! I have a 98 Silverado Z71 with cranked t-bars and an add-a-leaf in the rear. I'm running 285/75R16 on stock rims and need new tires and have some rims I wanna use. They are 15x10 and have around a 4.5 backspace and I wanna put 33/12.50's on them! I have trimmed about 3/4 to an inch off the back of the front fenders and about 1 1/2 to 2 inches off the front of the front fenders and fascia. If they fit your truck they should fit mine correct??? Anyone's input would be appreciated and if your gonna say no and not explain why, don't bother commenting.
