2009 GMC Build Thread

Sweet! Gonna be killer!

Thanks dude Glad to see you're back.

Why so small of tires on a 9" lift?

Because I'm running x12s. I could fit 35s but I just got these tires and don't feel like spending another ~$1,400.

9" of lift on 33"ish tires?!

Yup. That's what most people are running with 6"-9" lifts on NNBS trucks now-a-days, it's not like an NBS.

Just dont end up like this guy

That's an 18" FTS on an NBS truck, your argument is invalid.

you gotta go way bigger with a 9". but its gonna look sick when done for sure!

Thanks man, I'm getting pretty anxious.

This is my buddy's 9 with 37s...

[bartjo06]

I'm going for the Cen Cal look. All set on stock running gear and 37s.

[bartjo06]

One of my inspirations... 7" FTS on 20x12 Hostages and 33x13.5 Iroks.




Same truck on 20x12 Weld Dunes and 33x12.5 Toyo's.

Thats going to look sweet!!

I had a 2005 Silverado crew cab 6" Pro Comp lift, 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claw, and 18x12.5" Weld Racing Velocity 8 wheels.

The 33's look too small to me as well, but If you dd go bigger than you sacrifice a lot more.

Thanks man, I wish Welds were still around as much as they used to be. They're pulling stupid prices for them now, otherwise I'd be getting a set.

Those do look good. Me personally, more tire. But its your ride!

That red GMC looks real nice. I like the way your trucks look now. I'd leave it but to each there own.

Don't sweat the haters brother... there will always be someone out there that thinks unless you build your truck EXACTLY the way they built theirs, you're doing it wrong lol.

And only because I am a picture ho, and I know how much it motivates you... some of my old truck







and for the good ole boys that think a truck bed is for recovery straps and stacks

[bartjo06]

Every time I see your old truck it makes me want Diesels Bill. I'm definitely doing a painted HD cap like that too. Need to decide if I'm going to paint the bottom of my mirrors or get tows and match those.
