78 c20 10 inch wide wheels
GAWR for the rear shows 5560, GVWR is 8200. my only issue here now is trying to save money. technically the 116 load idex tires almost meet the rating needed for rear GAWR of 5560. Ill probably just go with the load es at 120 index or so that way i dont have to worry about. I think my wheels say...- squarebuddy88

78 c20 10 inch wide wheels
That brings up another question, Craig 85. A lot of the tires im seeing dont list the load range or ply rating, but instead just list the load index. Correct me if im wrong, but would the tires be "acceptable" for the truck so long as the load index combined for four tires is equal to or higher...- squarebuddy88

78 c20 10 inch wide wheels
So how about a 275/70-16 on my stock appearing 16 inch wheels? Theyre probably somewhere between 6-7 inches wide if i had to guess. I know a lot of guys run skinny 16 inch wheels from some of the more modern chevys with 285-75-16s on them, granted they usually have a lift, but my point is the...- squarebuddy88

78 c20 10 inch wide wheels
yea my truck does seem to sit pretty low in the front, im not sure what thats all about. Alaska 79 K-10 when you say the most i can go is 4.5-4.75, do you mean i shouldnt go more towards 5 inches or more towards 3 inches, just so im clear? So if i was to find a wheel in a 17x9 OR 17x10 with 4.5...- squarebuddy88

does anyone know on the c20s if you do a 2 inch drop shackle on the rear, would the bed need clearanceing? I know you do with the half ton trucks with the 52 inch springs, but this truck has 56 inch springs from the factory. also If i was to either keep the suspension stock, or maybe do the...- squarebuddy88

Thanks for all the replys guys. Like I said, I cant really decide what to do. I had a lifted k10 before this and got rid of it so I could make a lower easier to load truck. And I do love these trucks, sometimes they do look cool all stock. I think since mine isnt mint condition, and appears...- squarebuddy88
