Just like the title implies, how can i give my truck the "big truck look" im tired of having the small look. 2004 Gmc Sierra CC 125,xxx, 5.3, 4.10 gears, 22's, Volant CAI. Im thinking Mild Lift, Chrome Running Boards, Keep the 22's with bigger tires. My question Can someone help me out with a list of how to achieve a 4x4 look that has been lifted about 2 inches.

Putting big tires on 22's is gonna cost a good bit of $$$$

Aight dog, you gotta get ya self some coil spacers to lift up da front of yo whip. Then you gotta get ya self some blocks to lift up da rear, get a body lift somewhere between 1 1/2"- 3" too depending on how much frame you wanna show, cuz you know the hoes don't like to see no frame. Then to top it off go on and getcha some big mud tars which is gonna cost ya some mad duckets cuz ya skating on 22s nai meen?

Clever, Dick. I assumed i could get a 3 inch spindle 2 inch coil spacer and a 4 inch block in the rear...i've looked in to this before but i assumed you guys would maybe know a cheaper route, or the cheapest place to gets those parts. No need to a ******* man.

U can always crank ur tortion bars, but beware that doing so puts strain on the front end and cause parts to wear out faster, but it will bring the front up about 2 2 in a halfinches,,,,plus ur steering and front end would be tight and a rough ride,,,put u some add a leaf leafsprings in the back or blocks...that is the cheapest way to lift bud...but it has it pro and cons, pro being u can lift it for about 150 out of pocket. Con is it will ride like ****....
other then that a body or suspension lift it the way to go,,,,or u can save ur 150 and stuff 35s like I did,,with no lift or cranking, ,,it looks good too,, but mine is a obs,,,well good luck.... stuffed to the gills......

OP has a 2wd... There are no torsion bars.
OP, if you want a cheap way to make your truck bigger, step down to 16 or 17 inch rims. Big tires for 22s are going to be stupid expensive.

Okay being serious here you go, 3inch spindle is a must have 2inch coil spacers (metal or they will sag) and dont go with a 4inch block unless you want your a$$ end up in the air i have 1inch blocks with 3inch spindles 2inch daysh!t spacers and 3 in body lift, if you go with a body lift make sure you get nfabs to cover the frame oh and your mpg will be
about 8-9 with those rims and big tires; go to fatbobsgarage.com thats where i got my spindles probably cheapest around

If you sell those 22s and go with some 18s, you'll probably make enough money to pay for a lot of the mods that you want. Just a thought.

3in spindle and 2in coil spacer for the front and a 2in block if you want a little lean or a 3in if you want some rake in the back.

Great info, thanks guys! I'll go with a smaller block then in the rear and maybe downgrade in rim size, i just hate to considering i bought new tires for it pretty recently. That and the pitting going on with the chrome i dont think i'll get much out of them :/.
