The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

1999 K1500 Suburban, 5.7L, with GF T-bars and 4/1 Leaves.
Stupid questions:
1. If I swap from 4/1 (2200 lb) to 5/1 (2900 lb) leaves, what is the expected unladen lift as measured from the rear axle?
2. Can I level that much lift by cranking the GF (5826 Max Torque) T-Bar keys or would it be better to install GK (8615 Max Torque) T-Bars?

cranking the t-bars will allow you to fits 33's and possibly 35s with some rubbing and trimming depending on your truck

adding a 3" body lift would be the easiest way to fit both 33 and 35" tires

i have seen body lifted trucks with both of those sizes and most look good
