Wait..wait..wait. Nobody waste the time to hang him.Commit suicide yourself.



Oh and to answer your question:33s

stock axles are only reliable up to 35-36" tire and that will just look dumb with 12" lift (not that a 12" lift can't look dumb) Also with that much lift you will probably have to have the knuckles cut and turned to get proper allignment and be able to still run a front driveshaft.

1who said i was keeping a stock axle? 2 i had 40's on my bronco with stock axles and 3 it realy dont matter what i need to do to it cuz i got the money to do it. and the lift is already being put on

These are the best answers we can give you when you give us very little info.

Oh yeah a bronco with 40's and stock axles you must be hardcore

What axles will you run on the GMC? I just remembered those have 10 bolt front and rear.. seen those lose rear axles with 35's on the street hence my earlier recomendation. If you have the drivetrain to handle it you can run any light truck tire with that lift.

:laughing: - wow what's with all these newbies putting on 12" lifts

53" might be tight, 44" piece of cake. Since you're most likely not rock crawling this thing with 12" of lift, I wouldn't worry. Guessing you're going to be in mud, you still want bigger axles.

hey NE-RokToy why dont you go do something instead of sitting on the computer all day and trying to make fun of people just cuz your a young punk and you dont have something better. all of you just sit on here all day get a life. see thats the thing all you young kids think your cool and you dont have anything

... and you dont have anything

I don't have a 12" lift :(

1:Nor do I need 1.

2:I believe its Pirate 4x4 extreme rock crawling
not extreme mud ???? whatever


3:Who cares

My last post was informative I guess you missed that... YOU CAN RUN ANY LIGHT TRUCK TIRE ON THE MARKET WITH 12" LIFT!

I had a 77 chevy with 4" lift and 37's they fit easy, could of ran 38's no problem. So you have 8" more lift so I don't see why you couldnt run anything currently available with that much lift.

I would get out and do something but my parts are currently in the mail so I have to wait for those to get here... Oh yeah I won't have 12" lift and I sure as hell won't run 40's on stock axles, will have 36-37's with alloy axle shafts and upgraded U-joints. Also I spend alot of time on here because the internet and this website in particular are a great source of research so I can get the parts I want and won't just buy what other people tell me I can or should run. research is a great tool try it some time.

Final question what axles will you have under the GMC to go with that monster lift?

little lift + big tires =

big lift + 44's =

like I have said twice now, with 12" lift you can run any tire you want

This thread is friggin useless. What made you decide on 12" of "lift" if you didnt even know what size tires you wanted to run? :shaking:

You are a newbie POS. People try to help you, and you get all bent out of shape. Get the fawk out.

you people are funny you take a dumb site on the net like it is the best thing in your life

From past experience, don't go beyond 6 inches of lift and 36 inch tires. Reason- the most basic of all is safety- the brakes. 36 inch tires stop a whole lot better than 38's and 44's. And someone else mentioned the axles- the stock axles will "marginally" handle up to 36, with gear change of course. Anything more and you will be twisting out axles, u-joints etc. Stay within reason, especially if you're going to drive this on the street. Rolling through a traffic light is hazardous; to your wallet at the least and your life at the most.

Nifty little charts mean little in the real world, and I showed two pictures proving that. I may have been an ass but I did give you better info then some cookie cutter chart. What ever floats your boat I guess.

hey NE-RokToy, that 2nd picture you posted is my truck!! Yaaaaah, I'm famous!!

Buy the way, it is only used for mud and stuff like that...obviously never rockcrawling :shaking: . My axles are also built up pretty good too.

Dcasey, the lift is a 12" suspension and 3" body lift...if that gives you an idea of what you can fit on a stock body with that much lift. And yes, the tires hit the fenders real good both front and back :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

My eyes hurt from rolling too far in their sockets!:rolleyes:
