I gotta 1991 k2500 i am going to put on a lift and tires soon i was wondering if 6" of lift and 35"s would that make the tires look small... should i buy new gears to put on 37"s? and what are the best A/T tires (looks and wear) and is skyjacker werth the extra $$ or should i go with a cheaper company like rough country ?

I would go with the Rough Country lift because you cant beat the price and they have really stepped up their game in the last year or two. and 35's and a 6 will look great. you could probably go to 36's even. what gears do you have now? 4.10 im guessing?

They are stock gears so 4:10 I like the sound of 36's do you no what size that is for a 16 inch rim? i no 35's are 315/75r16 and if i was to change the gears whats a good ratio

Take a look at my pics, 6 inch lift on 35s, i think the lift/ tires size is perportioned out well. Im running 4:56 gears , and i always heard BFG all terrains are the best a/t tires out there.

Thanks for telling me about your Burban i really like the look of 6inch with 35s how is that gear ratio working out for you? and how much was the gears?

35s or 36s regear to atleast 4.56. 4.10s would be a little on the doggish side here. I run 35s and spin the tires with 4.56s.

It ran me about $450 to get the front and rear axles geared up.Im happy with the 4.56 gear set up if i get on the gas, she will burn tires!
