recently purchased a 2011 chevy Z-71 LTZ and added a 5" lift kit, 31" Mickey Thompson tires (kept factory wheels), spray in bedliner, and step bars. Went from looking like my dad's truck to BAD arse !!

IMO it makes it look a little cooler, but yea like the above post says. That looks strange.

to me it sounds more like:

A) a typo

B) blew wad on lift and ran out of money before the tires were calculated into the cost. Hell a 2011 with 20's comes with stock 32" tires

yep go up. Never down on a 4x4.

Put a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my F150 and added 33" tires to the factory rims. It now looks like a 4x4 and not that factory shite.

+1

why do all the new 4x4's look just like a 2wd but with a nifty sticker by the back tire?

The chevy's are the same height. The ford 4x4's have a 1" block on the rear so it sits a little higher.
