If I go much bigger than stock wheels I'm going to spend more money on brake upgrades first.

Very true on the brakes, what about gears to get the bigger tires rolling??

I never said I was on a budget, I said I was cheap  :winkani: 

Just because Freebie and I would like to make our trucks monsters,...

I guess you can rule us out as far as trailer queens

Me too, I'm definitely not a trailer queen or pavement princess.

pavement princess  2funny 

Memorial Day weekend June 2001 two days after I took delivery of my first Avalanche I was up north on a two track in the Huron National Forest, swimming in the Au Sable River and sitting on my new leather seats in wet cut-off blue jeans. Why would I buy a cladded street truck ?   :jacked:

On topic; if you need tires, shocks or an alignment it's a good time to mess with your torsion keys first.
If you plan/hope to lift it later do it cheap as possible now, don't spend alot on stuff you want to replace.

I was in my boat on the Mississippi river once when the rain came, needless to say I was soaked when I got on my leather seats. I kind of puckered at first and thought, what the hell.

I don't need tires, I just put new BFG 285's on after I did the Furd keys, rear coil spring spacers and new shocks all around.  I would love to go with a 4" kit someday.
