    2005 GMC Sierra 1500
    Started out with 3.5" Rough Country leveling kit (comes with new shocks and keys) on 18s and 33s. Then a year later, went bigger with 6" Rough Country lift kit on 18s and 35s. Right before it go sold, it was on 20x10 and 35s. Not too bad for my first truck build and I'm happy with the transformation.

    Loved this story, only thing I found funny is the "loaded down trailer". 3 days ago I towed my 20 foot enclosed trailer packed to the tits (7605 pounds) over 600 miles through the mountains with my half ton. Sure it was a bit slow going up hills but the truck handled it just fine! 10/10 would do it again!

I didnt want to lose a lot of top end power with the 4:10 ratio but had I went 37s I would've ( I also had 3 in body lift ). I just went with a different offset and wider wheels and tires. 22x9

    Truck looks great. Word to the wise, anyone reading this. Do not get eBay tow mirrors.. 1A Auto makes a set far superior to even OEM in my opinion. Had an eBay set. Mirror fell off.. janky, not sturdy. Better off spending another 150 or so getting a set that is amazing quality. The Marker light looks way better than any OEM mirror. Wrap the caps with vinyl for cheap too. 3M.
