    Exclamation 1998 Z71 Tires

    Hey guys, new guy here.

    So I'm 16, about to get my g2 in two months so I bought a 98 Silverado Z71.

    Heres my question.

    I wanna put a set of 33's on it, 285/75/16. Well my brother found out I was getting some 33's so now he's getting the exact same tires, so now I want some 315's! Will these fit if i crank my torsion bars? Or do I have to body lift?

    Here are the tires

    A body lift would be your best bet. Even if you put a leveling kit on ur truck, the tires would still rub pretty bad.
    Never thought 35's would fit w/ only a leveling kit. Haha

    I dont have $300 to waste on a body lift right now. Im looking to get a fleetside box & paint, also duals. That wil come before a body lift. Looks like Ill stick with 33's
