Default 5" susp lift ...tire opinions

ok all,
i am on the fence over getting a bds 5" lift, well honestly i am pretty sure i am going to get it.

my question is for anyone that has one, what tire size did you go with.
or maybe wished you would have gotten.

for some background on my ride, i have a 2" body lift installed and currently 2" shackles and 1.5" t-crank.

would 32" be fine? i wont pull your chain, the odds of this daily driver going off pavement are pretty slim...happens but very rarely.
my current tires are 31/10.5/r15...i am guessing these are going to look real small under there.

i have some iroc z 16x8 i want to put on there as well.

any help, opinions, pics would be helpful.

thanks

you can probably get away with 33's, with the bds lift you can still keep the tbar crank and shackles and your body lift, so really you will have about 9" of lift once you're all done. I know one guy who has the zq8 wheels (similar to your irocs) who is running 34's with a superlift and a body lift

and James (b1heqh54) is running 33x12.50's on his factory wheels, on his 2 door.

he just did that TM 5" SL with t-bar crank & 3" shackles. i think they were 3" shackles he used.


now.....where was his build thread.......(has a really nice pic of his tires in his 1st post)....................



found it! and they were 3" shackles he used.

just remember to get your build thread goin' when you start your project.
