I found the perfect stance. Help me out.

ya PJ;s are 36x14.50. i like wider tires so id take them ove bfg's or mt/rs. they are pricey tho, but sweet tires
 
Am I the only one who sees this?!?!?!?!? The rear seems low for being lifted, so my $$$ is on a 4" front lift, and 2-3" rear lift, and definitely 36/14.5 PJ's. Nice 1/2 ton axles, too. lol

ther 35's with no lift or at the most 2" heres a pic of mine, 36's 3/4ton susp. and no lift. they only stand 34" tall though so should be right on for 35's
I agree, those are not bigger than 35" tires. Unless those are 17" wheels, which I doubt. Maybe 3" lift.
 
i revise my statement. looking at his pics, then my pics again i would be very suprised if his truck was lifted at all. (so i am going back to my original statement of max 2.5" lift and 35's/ 36's) most just likely a 1" add a leave up front for some extra clearance (which would also explain the sagyy but not common with pic ups) take a close look at my pic and then his the stance is almost identical. (except my front fenders and the rear part of the rear wheel well are trimmed)
 
I'd say 4" for sure as the bottom of the body is right in line with the top of the rims and I know for sure thats 4" as I've installed, driven, and owned lots of trucks with 4" and the body line sits inline with the top of the rim.

Tire size appears to be in the 36" or 37" range. I have an '85 K30 with 4" and 35's and my tires don't appear to look anything like that truck does with 4" lift.
 
this is mine with 4" and 36's and no trimming.the tires are turned slightly in the pic but you get idea i rub pulling into some driveways and espesialy the mall paring lot. let me know if you want more pics

Could you e-mail me those pic's??
I cannot see them. I am not a member.
I really want to see it. thanks

E-mail in my profile.
 
I'm still guessing a 4" lift. If you look at where the axles sit under the truck you can tell that it's lifted more than an inch or two. And look at the back, then imagine where the spring would be... it look like a 4" block would work back there.
 
And here is a comparison pic of 6" lift with 36/12.50-16.5 TSL SX's.

Great pic, thanks.
Would you say the orange truck is running a 13.5 or 14.5 tire??
I am willing to bet those are 10" rims in the pic.
They could be a 36X14.50R15 on a 10" wheel. Here is the PJ website, you can click a link in there to take you to the specs page http://dirtgriptires.com/default.htm
 
FLEX it at all and kiss your fenders goodbye -
I've got 3 inch lift with 33's and slight trim - still caught the rear edge of my fenders at MOAB last year - LOOKS good though...

I like the orange truck but...............I must say I think this is the perfect stance. It just looks sooooo right. :bow:

One question.....

What is the width and backspacing on these wheels?

The width was about 8", but I don't know what the backspacing was. They didn't have much of the wheel on the outside, most of the offset was on the inside.

6" lift with 35's I don't think so.
4" lift with 35's Not sure.

This is what i want my truck to look like.
The tire and height combo looks perfect.

What setup do ya think this truck has.

my guess is 6" lift 36-37" tires on 16-17" rims. 10 or even 12" wide. tires in the 14.50 range. looks taller than a 4" lift. the distance between the hub and top of fender is what im going by. you cant go by top of rim/rocker if your comparing 15" rims against 16-17's.
 
So........ Do we ever get the answer?!?! Do you know the owner or location of this truck or are you just f'in with us??? :doah::D
 
My vote is for 4" lift and 36x14.50 tires.

If you reference the top of the front diff to the bottom of the bumper it's obviously higher than stock and has a similiar profile to my truck with a 4" lift. You can also see the front of the rear leaf spring in the picture and again it's obvious there is a lift block between the spring and axlehousing.

I've had 33's, 35's, and 38's under a 4" lift on my K5. Those tires definitely look taller and wider than the 35x12.50's on 15x10's that were previously on my Blazer, actually look closer to the 13/38's (which measure small) I currently have versus the 35's.
