with 5 turns on the t-bar key, I have the money for some shackles if someone has a good website for some 2" shacks...

But anyway back to the original point of my post, what size tires could i fit on my truck now?

With a 2" body lift + about a 1.25-1.50 t-bar crank

i have 31 10.50s on there with about 9 inches from top of the tire to the top of the wheel well.

Its not the top you have to be worried about. Look at the sides. Is there clearance there?

Also, This has been discussed about 10,000 times so do a quick search and you will get a few answers!

I looked through the gallery and did a few searches i got a little bit but didnt know if i could get more specific info since its a ZR2


I have about 4-5 inches when i turn my wheels to the max and i can remove the bottom of the front bumper if thats where i need space.

Glad you mentioned its a ZR2. Thought we were dealing with a Non-Zr.

Hmm. I can't quite remember whether its the front or back of the front wheels that rub the fender. Also, the back wheels will rub too. Some one will chime in soon enough tho.

You'd be looking at some serious spacing and trimming to run 13.5" wide tire. You'll need a huge amount of lift, probably a 6" super lift, coupled with a decent 2" body lift. Logan is running 14" wide tires (or used to at least, I think his new ones are smaller). He might be one to look up and talk to. He has a huge amount of lift though. I forget the exact stats.

NVANZEE is running 33's on his ride with almost 9" of lift. He still has rubbing issues at times...
