my 99 z71 has stock suspension and 33"s without any rubbing. well i should say 32.5" its a 285/75/16 tire. but i bet i could fit a true 33" tire without rubbing. but to play it safe the most you will need is a leveling kit at the most. new torsion keys will give you the extra lift needed. to me body lifts look like crap. new torsion keys will be the easiest way to lift IMHO. heres a link to some leveling kits.http://roughcountry.com/chevy_4wd_99...eling_kit.html
i would go for the full leveling kit for $190
+1 on the torsion keys/leveling>body lift
I like body lifts personally. I have one (though I did do it after the suspension).
Problem with a leveling kit...is 6 days later you'll wish you went larger. A 3" body lift is a nice difference, and when you get bored, you can throw on the 6" suspension.
If you only want 33's, I'd turn the stock torsion keys the 1/2 turn you'll need to clear, trim a 1/4" off the lower valance and call it a day.
you dont need a lift to clear those tires, just adjust the stock torsion bars. thats what i did and didnt trim anything. no rubbing under any circumstances. 99 2500 non hd
Then you have the wrong offset wheels.
hmm thats weird my truck with stock suspension clears 33" and does not rub at all when the wheel is turned all the way. and my dads truck is the same clears no problems. something is wrong if you rub with factory size tires.
maybe he has lowering torsion keys or bars. shoot ive seen stock 2wd silvys with 265 tires no rubbing. i still recommend the leveling kit posted.
should fit. just to make sure if you decide to order contact them about your application. i remember seeing a 2500 with the same leveling kit on some forum but cant remember which one.
Ok. Ill give the kit a shot. Thanks for the ideas guys.
