How will my K5/truck look with xx" tires on xx" of lift?

The glove box says 21 LT BLUE MET 12 FR. Thanks for the compliments.

4" lift with 315/75r16 (35") Cooper S/T MAXX tires.

Had 33" tires on it before. Even though the size difference is only 1.5"-2", it looks so much better with the 315/75r16's.
The trade off is that they're definently a heavier tire and not as many revs/mile. Mpg hit was negligible. Maybe 1mpg +/-?

www.tiresize.com is an awesome website for getting tire specs.
Here's a screenshot for these tires-

About the tires- still new, but I'm happy with these cooper S/T MAXX so far.
They're more aggressive than a standard all terrain- kind of a hybrid between an all-terrain and a mud tire, say... 85% all terrain, 15% mud tire.

If you're looking for a slightly more aggressive all terrain, these are definently worth a look.

Guys in Australia who do overlanding in the outback are pretty keen on them.
This is a cool video by one of them, and the video that swayed me to get them over BFG all terrains:

3" body lift, 33-12.5-15 on 8x15's
 
About 4 feet in the front and about 3 in the back on 305/55r20 (33x12.5) mastercraft MXTs. 20x10 fuel wheels. Ok, ok. I think the front has old 2.5" superlift springs when and 3" blocks in the back.



~120 mile road trip to the beach earlier this Summer


And ~200 mile ski trip



And this is what was on it when I bought it.
33x12.5r15 On 15x10 centerline wheels.



Looking to get 3/4 tons with 4.10s, shackle flip, 4" TC ez rides in the front, zero rate where needed, 1" body lift and 35s.
 
Basically same lift kit I have pieced together with my H2 wheels now debating brand of tires.

Oh I thinking I am leaning toward 4:56 since 700r4.

When I go 8 lug, I'll probably get h2s and paint them black. At this point I'll take 4.10s or 4.56s. I have the 700r4 as well.

I like the mastercrafts so far. Can't really comment on the offroad performance of them, except for they got me out of some pretty deep snow a couple times when I was in NC, but they ride fairly well on the road. I have about 7,000 miles on them and they seem to be wearing well. Look good and can't beat the price.
 
These are great pics and info about what combo looks great. Does anyone have information on how tall their rig really is? Mine is stock with 31" tires and the top measures 63". So if the math correct a 6" lift with 35" tires would be 73". But is that really how tall my K5 would be? Anyone?
 
You are only picking up 2" of truck height from a 4" increase in tire height. So, in theory you are going up 8", not 10", but it all depends on how close to an actual 6" of lift you end up with (it obviously differs a bit depending on manufacturer and how your truck is set up).
