Re: 72 Gmc k15 Lift adivice

The real issue is fuel economy on the highway. My experience with big tires and no gear was crappy mileage because you were below the efficient operating range of the carbureted motor setup. I would start saving for a gear swap. 3.73 with 33" tires or 4.10 with 35's. My 4.10's are the perfect gear for the 35" BFG AT's on my truck.
