Can't wait to put a lift on my 1990 obs single cab 4x4 gona run fuel 17x9 on a 12.5 tire to get more side wall that's the look I'm shooting for..your truck looks great I feel like a 12.5 would be 2 much for my taste..I don't want to poke out 2 far I use my truck for everything..hunting, pulling my work trailer exc..
great trucks ,I have a 1996 Z71 running on 305/40R/22 and have 1987 custom Deluxe short box 4by4 running on 1 ton axles and i 350 TB from a 1992 Suburban
No rusted cab corners or nothing lol they all look real nice still to this day without the rusty spots lol Still my favorite trucks i mean who can not love an obs chevy, lifted or dropped...Classics!!!
Me too Zayne i'm 16 I got a job and 14 and did not spend a dollar so I could get a truck and I wanna upgrade it but I dont have enough for upgrades yet I just bought the truck last week. My total on Rough Country for everything I want is 4 grand rn lol. Its gonna take a while to save up but it will be worth it.
Man I got a 3 inch body lift on mine right now (previous owner) and I just can’t WAIT to get that shit off and put a 6 inch lift on it, looks like a beast.
Anyone that gets a 3" always regrets not going straight to the 6 inch lol. That's why I'm going from stock to straight to the RC 6" it's on its way to me as we speak..
With a 6 in lift you shouldn’t have to crank the keys bet much at all. My truck is sitting on 35s with just a leveling kit and keys cranked 1/2 of the way.
@@870arkansas7 wait what😂 cuz I've got a leveling keys on mine and I rub with 285/70/17 and i just bought a set of 37x13.5 20s I just don't know if I need a 4 in lift or 6
My 98 K1500 is in practically mint condition. I've been tossing around the idea of a 6" RC lift. I'm just not too sure about wheel offsets...etc. What is the offset of those M/T Classics? The only ones I find online are the 15x10 Classic III 6x5.5" -45mm. Is that what yours are?
That looks amazing! does the rough country kit level the truck also? and if you don't mind me asking about how much did the shop charge to install? i want the kit but don't know how much installation should be without overpaying
STREETRACEN4U yeah it levels it. Or you can tighten the torsion bars more to raise it even higher. My shop charged 600 to put it on not including mount and balance the tires or alignment. I called around and got quotes anywhere from 600-1000$.
I was wondering on passenger side did u use stock differential mount and if u cut passenger side off like driver side?and did u add stabilizer shock can u make another video and go underneath and point out plez
Hey, great looking truck, im trying to do the same with my truck, i was wondering if you had to get spacers since the 6 inch rough country lift requires 20 inch wheels?
Man I'm ready to get my truck running and get my check list done on it I have a three inch body lift and I want to take that off and get a 6 inch lift same brand and everything
Ay man shes a beaut. I'm getting a 92 single cab long bed and I wanna know the specs that u got on your lift and your wheel/tire set up because this is exactly how I want mine to look
Cameron Coone no they’re great. I’ve ran these tires on all my trucks. They’re not to noisy at all. I buy these tires bc they’re a great value and have never given me any issues.
Nice. Much better then the body lift... but I wouldn’t mind doing a 1 inch body lift but I can only find 3 inches online so I’m not even gonna bother. Anyone know of a company that sells less than 3”?
In the video the driveshaft is covered in mud and rust . so more than likely its stock. And as far as steering stabilizer goes. Not many ppl run them on these trucks. These particular trucks have a vertical steering system as opposed to horizontal and they have independent front suspension. They steer okay at highway speeds without a stabilizer. But if u plan on towing or going any faster than average highway speed. Then it would not hurt to get one.
I have a 92 Chevy with that same lift but my truck looks like it still has a little rake to it... upsetting. and mine doesn’t ride as good as you are saying so you might have upgraded shocks
Have you rebuilt the front end before lifting it? I’m planning to life my bone stock 1997 single cab Z71 but she has a lot of play in the steering wheels. Also looking to upgrade my UCA if there’s any company out there that has it. But your truck is shinning! 👍🏽
Hi brother, you didn't have any problem when using the 35 "wheels. I want to be installing a 6" lift kit and I want to use the 35 "wheels. Can you tell me the name of those wheel models?
@@davisharmon278 Ok those are the same ones im getting for my 98 thats why I asked also. My StepDad has a 98 6 inch lift 35 ad fuel rims he got a stabalizer and aid it makes a hell of a difference
My 1995 Z-71 is on 315/ 70/ 17's (35 x 11 actual size) on American Outlaw 17" x 10"s with nothing more than a 2" leveling kit, but your 6" lift looks pretty good. It just isn't required for the 35's.
I gotta 95 chevy k1500 with a 2.5 suspension. I got 12.5 35. 20 inch tires just lookin for something different just not to small of tires? Could I possibly throw the 15 with 35 and it look right?
Dude, that truck looks old school awesome.
Nice finally one with style not no silly ruberband tires 👍👍
Definitely. Wanted to keep it classic.
I have the same truck but as a stepside and these were my plans and seeing what it will look like done is awesome thank you
Literally the exact same here I just bought my lift
Looks killer!!!!!!!and that color red is awesome
She is gorgeous !
These yr chevs look kick ass lifted. Love the red hate the wheel offset
Sweet looking truck love the wheels
Crazy how a truck can look totally different with a lift and tires. It looks great perfect height and sized tires.
Lee Nix yep! I love the look.
Absolutely beautiful truck. I’ve been liking for a k1500 lately and this is exactly how I want it to look
I got a 1991 k1500 4x4 I'm 15 lol going to make it like this
@@myppis5inches34 that’s a good enough length for your age.
great video! just ordered my lift from rough country and planned on getting 35s as well so this video gave great perspective!
Elizabeth Ladd post a video when it’s done!
Are you happy with the rough countrty????
Following this thread. I am also getting a 6" R.C. lift. And same wheel/tire specs. Looking for reviews
Very nice, getting ready to do the same to my 94.
Man that came out really nice!!!
Looks alright, I prefer stock with all terrain tires how is ur MPGs?
Corey The FAM dumb question to ask about a lifted truck can I get 20 mpg out of a lifted truck he’ll no 😂
Corey The FAM it’s nice as hell but the mpg is probably trash

I just bought the same 97 last night. Ordered the 6" lift today😂😂
You got it put on yet?
How much does this installation roughly cost ???
Dmv Ngs 1000$ and then if you upgrade the shocks it’s a little bit more
Nice looking truck ,man I remember these trucks brand new last of gm s good trucks
looks great man i'm thinking's about coping this setup because it looks badass
Zayne McDonald appreciate it! I wanna regear next!

@@davisharmon278 what is the offset and backspace on those wheels? I'm buying some online, and want to make sure there the right look.
Trapper Moore not sure the offset but they’re 15x10 with 3-5/8 backspacing.
What back spacing do your mickey thompson wheels have? good looking truck
What kind of wheels are those? I’m getting a 95 k1500 and like the look those wheels give it, awesome truck!

I would wait on the body lift removal. See how 9" looks compared to 6"
A 6" lift on 35's definitely forces you to crank up the torsion bars. Gives it a stiffer ride.
With a 6 in lift you shouldn’t have to crank the keys bet much at all. My truck is sitting on 35s with just a leveling kit and keys cranked 1/2 of the way.

Did you have to get smaller brake kit to fit 15’s or no cause I want to but not sure if I need a small brake kit

Ted Burkholder yes sir. I love them.
37s would’ve filled wheel wells more but I absolutely love the set up
Single Piston Productions yeah I think so too. Probably go 37s in the future. Definitely would regear for that though.
Davis Harmon yea I’m gonna put a 3” lift on mine with 33s for now
one clean ass truck
How much power loss did you experience with the lift and larger tires
I have same set up. Little to no power loss. Just loss on fuel economy lol
Love it was watching ur video on the body lift bc I’ll be putting one on my 98 next weekend
parker odom thanks! Good luck and take your time.
Nice rig!!!
I want to lift my obs chevy but I don't like the torsion drop brackets. I know I could put steps to cover it up but still thinking bout it

-45 on the offset, right? Any rubbing at all and did they have to trim your fenders?
Charles Belville yeah that’s right. Minor rubbing so minor fender trim.
Where did you find the wheels? Do you have a part number?
I'm about to lift my 1994 Sierra SLT k1500 once the snow melts. Got 35x12.5r20s already for her and some big gears.

Nice ride
Nice truck
How has the rough country lift held up?
I have a 92 Chevy with that same lift but my truck looks like it still has a little rake to it... upsetting. and mine doesn’t ride as good as you are saying so you might have upgraded shocks
Did you have to modify your rear axle
Did you put the extra leaf spring in the rear? Or just the block?
greg matthews just the block

Suave House no never have rebuilt the front end. Mine doesn’t have any play in it really. I’m sure a steering stabilizer would definitely help.

Davis Harmon ok im just wondering they do have sum lift kits the u put brackets in to drop it
I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt. Might look into it.
The diff has to drop. If it doesn't, you'll go through axles, hubs and front end parts like crazy! I have the same kit on my suburban.
