[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

Thank you for watching! And just torsion keys were turned up and add aleaf from years ago were added but added more leaf spring to the pack

[@mikeydejon2148]

This looks so good

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

Thank you!

[@baileylapier6430]

I got a 6 inch rc plus a 3 inch zone off-road body lift and looks so good

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

I could imagine 9 inches of lift yeah up in the clouds up there and what size tires are you running?

[@baileylapier6430]

@@gettemtogethergarage8868 I got 315 75 16 on falken wildpeak mts. Want to go with a little wider and taller size but again it's a cruiser.

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

Yeah that's the same size tire I have on my truck . I would say just depend on your budget that you want to spend would prop want to go with the 37 or 40's to fill up wheel well alittle more

@@baileylapier6430 22x14 with 375/45 would look good if you have 6-9 inches of lift

[@baileylapier6430]

Thank you for watching! And They are the centerline racing wheels outlaw 1

@@gettemtogethergarage8868 thank you for the reply!!! I'm just about to start restoring our old z71! I'm not sure if I want a simple 2 or 3 inch lift with 33's or a 6 inch. Gas prices suck bad right now ya know lol but your truck is awsome !!!

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

No problem and I look at it like this your gonna be going thru the hard work to put the torsion keys in which are the hardest part about any lift for those trucks you mine as well build it they way you want since you will have everything apart anyhow and gas milage isn't much different then stock and where I live we have alot of hills and my truck average about 10 mpg and get about 9 to 9.5 city so not much different there. That was how I was looking at my truck for a point of view for you but when you choose a lift send me pictures I want to see how it turns out for you!

[@johnnyboy859]

@@gettemtogethergarage8868 for sure brother. I'll send you what I have!

[@mikemiller9339]

what lift did you have on it before?

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

It was all stock other then turning the stock keys up alittle bit but I just replaced the shocks on the truck before the lift

[@mikemiller9339]

@@gettemtogethergarage8868 im trying to get 33 x 12.50x 20 to fit

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

I was able to fit a 315 75 16 which I is just shy of a 35 inch tire and the only thing I had to trim was the lower air deflector on the bumper just had to take alittle bit off on the corner but those should fit no problem

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

I also fit a 285 75 16 when the truck was stock height with a minor trim to the fender but if you have a 6 inch lift it should be clear.

[@toddbowser9415]

Don’t use the chassis saver! It’s junk,and I know personally. Just one mans opinion

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

Yeah I figured that out after a year of the frame flexing of I did it again I'd sand blast and epoxy this time. I appreciate the info thank you!

[@NglNPC]

Hey man I don't if you're still answering questions on this video but I'd like to know what color code is on this OBS chevy. I have a 90 Z71 with that dark red color and I want to paint it something like yours. Yours is a really nice man🤙👌👍

[@gettemtogethergarage8868]

Yeah I'll answer any questions I get and Mine is also a 90 and original the dark cherry color I have the new PPG water based color code for it and this color always looks good in the sun and all cleaned up but when I get to the shop I'll look for it and send you it!

[@NglNPC]

[@NglNPC]
