lift/wheels/tires question
i have an 05 sierra z71 and want to do suspension lift hopefully a 6inch. whats a good lift for my truck? i dont do any off roading i just want the bigger look. I have heard pro comp does a nice lift and im told fabtech is good as well. how involved are each of these kits? also i want to put a 20 inch wheel with a big tire. what are everyones reccomendations for wheels probably do chrome or black.... this is a dd so any reccomendations for tires? thanks in advance for any help, i know there are other threads that are about this but i wanted to see what everyone though for my particular situation.

if you dont plan to do much wheelin and you wanna go wit 20s, id say go for a nice set of wheels.... dont get somethin cheap from pep boys. your def gonna wanna get a street tire instead of a mud terrain, dunno if yokohama makes like a 35" tire for a 20" wheel, but i liked my yokohamas i used to have. if you got the right tools and a lift suspension lifts arent that involved specially since urs is a 05' so you bolts shouldnt be to hard to get off, you could probably have the back done in under 2 hrs... the front is a little difficult and depending on the lift you get will determine how much you have to cut

SkyJacker, Rancho, Fabtech, Trail Master, Rough Country are some of the best, and like JT said, RCD lifts are good for Chevy's and GMC. I say stay away from Pro Comp suspension lifs, **** I'd say stay away from Pro Comp everything. Too much hype and lil performance. I didnt read the whole thread but if you want some good *** performace in a tire(and in case if you do want to do some light off-roading,,,which you will every now and again) I'd say get some BFG AT's.
