Default NBS RCSB Z71- wnat to put it on 20's

I just bought a 99 Z71 step side RCSB with a 4.8 and from the original owner.

Here it is parked next to my 02 RCSB 4/6 drop with an LM7 on Texas 20's.





My question is this: with a leveling kit, I want to put it on Texas 20's and some nice tires, what size of tires could I fit and what brand would look like this truck ( i know this is a bad pic, but I took it while driving )


I plan to put on the old shorty headers my 02 came with since the manifolds on the Z71 are cracked (don't know how they did it ). I am also gonna cut off the cats eventually. But for now just gonna put the shorty headers and a borla pro xs turned down after the axel, ngk tr5's, change tranny oil and filter, oil in both diffs, hd2 shift kit and vette servo, msd wires, cai and tune. Later on I'll put some e fans.

I'd put some 33" nitto trail grapplers on there. 295/55/20 or 305/55/20, but the truck in the pic looks like it might have a body lift too.

I thought the same thing, I might just do a 3 inch body lift or something.

yea I would try to crank your stock keys first. You can probably get close to 2" from them, or atleast level with the back. then look into a bl.

You could definately fit 305/55/20s on that truck with just keys, especially with OEM wheels. I fit 305/55/20 trail grapplers on 20x9.5s with 5" BS with just keys and a little plastic trimming. Doesn't rub at all.
