I'm going to make some lift blocks. 1 1/2" total for my truck. What's the biggest tire size I can put on there. I've seen some guys with 33 inch tires without a lift and some minor rubbing issues.

With that being said what size tire could I throw on with a 1 1/2" lift? I wont mind a little rubbing issues but I don't what to do any MAJOR body mods but I'm not close minded to minor body mods. I don't want a bigger lift either.

Skip the lift and sawzall the fenders, then you can run 33's with no body contact.

we ran 33's and never had any body contact at all stock on an 86 k10.

Then we added a 4 inch lift just because we wanted to, but needed taller tires for sure.

I'd say with 1.5 find the tallest 33 you can one thats actually really close to overall or more then 33 inches tall, or maybe some 34's. I've only seen 34's on tsl ss's though.

or MAYBE some very short 35's.
