Need some opinions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Plunkett · 10-01-2013, 06:30 AM

I'm building a 87 gmc sierra v1500. It has a 350 tbi motor, lt headers, dual 2.5" flowmaster mufflers, and a 700r4 transmission. This is going to be my new daily driver. I'm going to run a 6" lift ( I've yet to decide on what brand lift I will go with). Here's where I need some opinions. I'm trying to decide whether I should run 35 or 37" tires on this truck. The inoy time I will take it off road is when I go camping. I plan on defeating the axles to 4.56 ratio. So with that being said, what does everyone suggest for something that will be daily driven

I would go 35s just because they are cheaper and being its a daily driver look at all terrain maybe mud terrain tires. And on the lift i would hit up http://offroaddesign.com/catalog.htm they can build you a lift kit with everything you need in one stop.And get the shackle flip for the rear it will help with the ride some.

What brand tires would you suggest? I'd like to stay with a mud terrain. I ran the bfgoodrich km2 before and was. Dry happy for the year and a half that I had them.

Tire brand is more of a personal preference to most,I would get on like tirerack and see what is in your budget and look up reviews for all of them.If you want a big list of reviews look at http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/index.html
