Trying to do my research and I have looked all around for info but it is limited for what I am wanting to do.
I have a 1980 El Camino that I would like to lift and make it look more like a truck. I plan on a dark gray paint and blacking out all the chrome. So wheel, tires, ride height need to go with the theme... think Mad Max but daily driven. I am also doing an LS swap. I am thinking about 17inch rims with 245-60r17 tires. I still have to see if there would be rubbing when turning but the circumference should be fine inside the wheel well. It looks like I need about an 8-10" lift to get the look I want. It looks like Universal car lifts is about the only ones with a lift kit for the gbody cars. I won't be racing and this is a daily driver but I do want some good power when I need to step on it to get around in traffic. Is the Universal kit a good brand? It appears to have everything needed. What are the cons to this kind of lift. I currently drive a 05 ram 1500 with 6inch lift so I am not new to riding high just riding high in a gbody. Thanks for any help and advice.
