Re: Anyone have a 4 inch lift with 37s

I had a 69 k5 with a 4 inch Skyjacker lift, and I had put bfg 37x12.50's on a 8 inch rim. They fit OK, and it looked pretty darn good, but it was fairly tight. It can be done, but not sure about out 4 wheeling/mudding in it. I did not keep it long enough to see that. Sorry, I don't have pics anymore. Good luck with it.

Re: Anyone have a 4 inch lift with 37s

I've done 4" lift with 14.50/37s on 10" wheels on 67-72s,which requires fender cutting. I think it would be great if someone made fenders for these trucks with enlarged openings (maybe a flare). I know there are pre-runner style,but I'd like something more factory lookin,not race vehicle looking. I think 37s with a 6" lift is even "iffy". I plan to do that on my '72. They are 12.50s and will be mounted on 8.25 wide wheels. I don't plan any off road action taking flex to the limit. I had 13/37s on 8" wheels on a '71 Blazer with 4" lift and 3" body lift with no problems and did all kinds of "wheelin" in that.

Re: Anyone have a 4 inch lift with 37s

I'm thinking around the same thoughts on 37s and 4" of lift. My burb runs 35s on 4" right now and there is no way to get a bigger tire to fit without clearanceing the body. I plan on taking my time and making it seem factory and not a sawzall party.
