hey guys i have an 82 k10 6.2 diesel that i bought with 32s with plans to go 37s with a 6in lift. i got the tires first and for ***** and giggles i put them on to see if i can clear them, they fit perfect with no rub, but now im confused i thought these trucks could barley fit 35s at factory height and even that you need the help of a sawzall. i replaced my front shocks with factory length shocks with no problem so i didnt think mine had any lift at all i cant seem to find any parts on her that would provide extra lift. what you guys think?
Thanks in advance
37s

The pic with 37s looks very similar to how mine looked with 38s and 4" lift.

if you really want to see if they are gonna rub you need to get the truck off road and go over some bumps and turn the tires. Once the suspension cycles you will find out that those tire will rub. I had 35s with 4?" lift they didnt rub until the suspension cycled, same for my 6' lift and 35s they only rub when the suspension cycles....i like the white good looking truck

Did you just have to trim the front fenders? or did the rear need it too.

I twist mine pretty bad so I trimmed the front of the rear opening too. Front open is cut front & back.
