Tires for the 3" suspension lift, 6 lugs conversion?

[AquaHunter]

What's the most height for the tires with the lift I installed with stock rims? The rims is a 15" and 5 x 5 lugs, Do I need to change my gears? Would 6 lugs conversion be recommended? It's a pain for me to look for offroad wheels and they mostly comes in 6 lugs.

I would think a 285 or 305 tire would fit, they fit my truck at stock height. Gearing...it wouldn't hurt depending on what you have in there now. I advise a 4.10 gear for a 33" tire and less. You tow right?

Yes I tow my 28' boat and I have stock gears on (unknown because I'm the 3rd owner)

Look at your RPO codes:

GU2 2:73 ratio

GU4 3: 08 ratio

GU5 3:23 ratio

GU6 3:42 ratio

GT4 3:73 ratio

GT5 4:10 ratio


That is only if the previous two owners didn't re-gear it.

HAks310, Where in SouthBay you live in? In San Diego?

I bet it has 3.42. Regardless I think a 4.10 would make it feel like a new truck
