    cops didn't do anything to us, we were down in the bottom, and one pulled up, shined his spotlight on us, so we came up to see what the deal was, he just told us to be careful, and not be too loud.

    Cant speak about wheeling spots in Billings seing as how Im in Missoula. There are a few spots around here to wheel and around Butte although. As for the title of the topic, I have a 1999 GMC Sierra lifted 9 inches. Heavily modified.

    Well we first need to start from the begining. I dont know what your ultimate goal with the truck is, and what you already have for it/done to it. One thing I can say, depending on your goals, dont waste your time with a 4 inch lift. If you are going to dive in, spend the hundred or slightly more and get the 6 inch. You'll be happier in the end, again given your goals.

    Haha I know reading that seems counter productive, but I have reason behind it. Trying to say, that we need to take into account the plan for the truck, and to make sure he has definete goals with it. Otherwise if hes just going for a lifted truck in general, dont waste your time with the 4. I have had a lot of customers and friends say they wish they would have just gone with the 6 inch instead, only after having had a 4 installed.

    One thing I would suggest is deciding on what size tire you want to run. That's going to be where your money goes. The lifts are cheap. It's easy to upgrade from a 4in to a 6in or even 8 inches of lift. But if you go with a 4in lift and decide you want bigger, then you're going to have to dish out a nice chunk of change for bigger tires. I ran 8 inches of lift on my 79 Chevy k20 with 37inch humvee tires. By far the cheapest setup I could find. There are numerous shackle flip kits and lifts and extended shackles, etc, that will make things easy. The other thing you have to consider is your driveline. If you go any higher than 6 inches, You're going to have to get your front driveline lengthened. Lots of stuff to look at. 4 inches woudld be the easiest and probably the cheapest way to go, but if you're like most people, you will want more after you do it and will end up spending the money to go 6inches in the end.

    I definetely agree with you Jason. I have a feeling that if you were to run the 33s for a while and start wheeling, you are going to want more clearance and more bite....which will come from a larger tire. When you look at competitive trail rigs or just very avid weekend warriors the norm is 35-37 inch tires. Also when you go to swap the axles, get the entire set up. Drivelines, springs and steering linkage, and wheels! 3/4-1 ton use 8 lug vs the 1/2 ton that uses 6 lug. Swapping the axles is going to reguire the drivelines to be rebuilt regardless cause they require a different ujoint then the 1/2 ton. In regards to the lift, which ever way you go ( I def. recommend at least 6 with your goals) spend the extra coin and go with full lift springs in the back or a spring shackle combo. Blocks will get the truck sitting where you want it....but leave much to be desired when you go to wheel with them.
