Are 33s to small for a 3 inch leveling kit and 3 inch body lift ?

Depends on how wide the stance is IMO. I really like stuffed trucks but that pic doesn't look too bad.

Almost too small but still looks good. Definitely some room to go a little larger. 315/70/17 or equivalent 34" tire would look good

Yea I like the stuffed look too but short on funds I would like to go higher I like the way it looks in this pic but in real life I'm not so sure , sadly I just bought these tires and rims plus this isn't exact either it was a quick photo shop so it may be taller or lower than a three inch body lift .any one got any experience with body lifts ?

My only experience with body lifts came from my 96 and that was cake. But I've heard this bod style is far more complicated. I like the stance but I would probably just stick with a 1.5 inch body lift.

I have a 4.5" suspension lift and 33x12.5 and that looks perfect to me, 35 would look better with the 6" total of lift

I googled some pictures of six inch lifts with 33s I might be able to live with it for a while then go bigger down the road and 962000chevy how long did your 96 install take? Did u use a lift?

Took me and two buddies about 15 hours with a few beer breaks. We didn't use a lift just good floor jacks and 4x4 sections.

I will say that soaking everything in PB blaster for almost a week helped a lot too

I don't think they are too small. But it would look better with either a wider stance or wider tires (or both haha

Yea I'm thinking I may just do the 3 inch lift then of it looks too tall for the 33s I'll put an inch smaller block in the back then bring my keys down and help my terrible angles a little bit

Here are the pics I promised

I tried to measure the fender heights for you, I got 40.5" for both front and back, I can't say that is perfectly measured, it's -28 where I am lol and my tires may be a bit smaller than usual, uneven ground and snow could also play a part, I will get better measurements when it's warmer haha

And for anyone who sees it, yes my tow mirror is folded in lol
