Seeking Advice on 6-inch Lift with 35-inch Tires for My Silverado
I’m currently considering a 6-inch lift kit for my Chevrolet Silverado and planning to pair it with 35-inch tires. I would love to hear from anyone who has done this modification or is knowledgeable about it.
Here are some things I’m specifically curious about:
Compatibility: Are there specific lift kits or brands that work better than others for a Silverado?
Installation Tips: What should I know about the installation process? Are there any tricks to make it easier?
Technical Challenges: What kind of rubbing issues might I encounter? Any advice on backspacing?
Fuel Economy: How drastically will a lift kit and larger tires affect fuel efficiency?
Aesthetic Considerations: How does the truck look with this setup? Any regrets?
I want to make sure I’m fully informed before diving in, so any insights, personal experiences, or even suggested threads to read would be huge! Let’s discuss!
I recently lifted my Silverado with a 6 inch lift kit to fit 35’s. The first step is to gather all the tools: a jack, jack stands, wrenches, and a torque wrench. Safety first!
Definitely have a friend around. I made the mistake of trying to do it alone once and ended up frustrated and stuck halfway through. A lift can be tricky without assistance!
Ensure you have some experience with suspension work too. It’s vital to read the instructions thoroughly for your specific lift kit. Trust me, skipping that can lead to common pitfalls.
I’ve lifted my Silverado with 35’s and noticed a significant difference in handling. Make sure to adjust the alignment after installation for better tracking.
