Hey I'm new to this forum thing but I recently got a 2011 3500hd and I was wondering what size lift I should get to run 33s. And also what is the best tire that'll last a few years?
Tires and lift?

Welcome.
You can run 33's with the stock suspension. Are you wanting to lift it or just want to clear the 33's?

Goodyear Duratracs hands down the best tire I have been around... Excellent snow & Ice, and wear real well. I have heard some complaints on wear but the ones I have been around have been awesome.
No problem. I also like the toyo at & mt tire. I can't seem to kill my At's, not the best traction but wear forever. If they ever die goodyears are going on.
One last question.. Y'all think I can run 35s with a 3" level in front and 2" in the back? I don't want to half ass this truck but I want it to look pretty bad ass
With the right offset and trimming you could. But i wouldnt. Id level it, and throw some nitto trail graps on. Ive had mine for a good 13k miles and the tread is all still there.
Hi there, nice truck and welcome.
First, i wouldn't suggest leveling the truck with the torsion bar adjustment method, IMHO, there are too many negative side effects to using this method
Second, I think I know the look you're after, and it can be had w/a 4" lift set as low as possible with a 3" lift in the rear, some 35's and some 10" wide 18's or even 20's that have a 4 3/4 back space and something like a -12 to -22 off set.
Maybe somethin like this:
This is a cognito 4" lift, set at 4"
in the rear, I removed the overload and added a 2" DEAVER mini pack, I still have 1 3/4" of rake from front to back

That is a damn nice truck. That's what I'm wanting this one to look like. Thanks for the suggestions.
