    Hey y'all, I've got a 03 extended can silverado Z71, and it needs new tires. I also want to put a lift on that looks good but isn't too massive. I want A/t tires, and am leanin towards BFGs. Wonderin what you guys think a nice lift would be and what size tire would go good with that

    t-bar crank and 285 75 16, they come stock with 16in rims I believe. I wouldn't waste your money on BFG. I would look into general grabber at2 or I have heard good things about Cooper ST's.

    You need to take a look through that thread and decide what looks good to you. This is a very subjective area...what I think looks great will look like crap to others and what I think would be good for a d.d. would be way too high for some and too low for others.

    Theres no wasting money on bfgs if youre getting the all terrains, you can get an 3" leveling kit and some 33s if thats the direction you wanna go.

    Re: Lift/tire help for 03 Silverado

    Probably a stupid question here, but I'm new to this. What's the difference between lifting and leveling?

    Lift=Front and back go up
    Level=Front goes up to "LEVEL out" to the rear.

    Makes sense. If I went with a 3" level what size tire would be good for that

    Stock wheels, aftermarket wheel? Do you want the biggest possible? Are you alright with a little rub? Mine are really wide 315/70/17's.

    Right now I've got stock wheels. Tire wise I want one as big as possible without rubbing.
