4" lift kit for 2013 Chevy 1500?
Hey guys thinking of putting a 4" lift on my 2013 Chevy 1500, what do you recommend ? Considering running 275/70/18's or 275/60/20's. and thoughts or suggestions? Anyone have a similar set up they could post some pictures?
Thanks

33" tires with a 4" lift? You're going to have a lot of wheel well showing. I'm running 33's on a 2-inch level with 1 1/2" taller blocks in the rear and it leaves too big an opening IMO. I'd think about 35's with a 4" lift. Crappy pic but you get the idea.

Do a search on fullsizechevy.com you'll find better answers there unless some one has the setup your looking for.
Me personally i like the tires to take up as much space in the wheel well as possible....with my 2010 avalanche i have seen others with 305/50/20 nitto terra grapplers on the stock 20" rims with only a 2" front leveling kit.....said there is only rubbing on a hard turn when hitting pot holes...i'm waiting out this winter before i get my tires but i have my front leveling kit on already

I don't know what size tires will fit I was just looking at 4 wheel parts.com and with a 4'' lift it showed 33" tires with a 8'' wheel with 5'' of backspacing. I don't know which lift kits are best. I will check out full size Chevy.com Just didn't know if there were any experts on here, People that do this for a living, that may be able to shed some light on this for me. I like the look of a wide tire with a deep wheel if that makes sense. I think a 6" lift with 35" tires is to much.
Thanks

Can be done on a Ford or Dodge no problem. GM just doesn't give as much wheel well room from the factory as the other two.

I've done a TON of the new style Chevy's and GMC's. There's a great kit on EBay made by Motofab. It's very reasonably priced, is well engineered and is also black powder coated. I'll post up some pictures.....
