Default WHat do you guys think?

Do you think that a 6" lift will look stupid with a set of 33x12.50x16 mickey thompson baja claws. Tell me what everyone thinks please. I have 36" tires now but i want to down size the lift and tires because i want more HP and the tires are holding me back. If anyone has any pics of what this looks like that would be great.

i think you would be very disappointed at how small your truck would look with 33s, even 6" is alot of lift, i have 4" and i know for a FACT i can fit bigger tires, my wheel gap looks really stupid with just 33s but i dont wanna run anything bigger than that, what do you have a 3" body and 6" suspension?

Yes i have a 6" suspension and a 3" body lift. I want to take the body lift off. What do you think is the smallest tire i should run with just the 6" lift. I had 315/75/r16 on there before and now i have 36" tires.

Just take the body lift off and de-crank the keys a bit until you sit right up front for the tire size. then modify the leaf pack or remove the stock block out back to follow suit. A 6" decranked to 4" with 33's will look fine. I ran a 5" and 33's for a while on my OBS truck an it looked fine, but I still managed to rub if I really tried.
