Is my truck going to look odd with a six inch suspension lift and 33x12.50 tsl radials? If they made 35x12.50 in the tsl radial I would maybe go for that, I know they make a 36x12.50 but that seems a bit too much for a mostly road driven truck and a ten bolt front. Truck is an 80's k10. Thanks in advance.
 
35's will look better for 6"

33's are better with 4".
 
I'm running 35's with a 4" lift and it looks good. The axles have held up fine driving around town, and mild wheelin. If you push your rig off road you will have problems. I've already broke the left stub in my 10 bolt and spun the right rear axle tube in 44.
 
I'm running 33x12.50's with a 1" zero rate add a leaf. I agree, 4" for 33's, 35's on 6"

I wouldnt' run 33's on a 6" lift

For Reference, 33x12.50's with 1" add a leaf

They have a radial SSR in 35x12.50 - almost the same as raidal TSL. I have them on my truck- love them
 
33x13.5x16 w 3.5" of lift.... What u got in your diffs? A small block/auto will not like 35's unless u are 4.10 or lower... I fit 36x12.5x16.5 under this set up w no rubbing on the street; flexed is a totally differnet story...

MY rear 10 bolt just broke after a month or so of having 35x12.50 with those same rims with 3.73. Sure my trans/transfer didn't like it either. Not to start a 10 bolt/35" war, just saying what just happened to me. But I don't know the condition of that rear end before I bought it, it could have happened at any time, and the 35s just helped it along.

My 33s looked OK with the ammount of lift, but the 35s just helped it fill out. Like a push up bra :)
