The truck on the left is a stock 07 Chevy 4X4 for comparison.

33x10.5x15 will clear on 6" spring lift, not 12.5 wide.

I am really wondering how a 6" lift would look with 31x10.5 tires? I will not be using the vehicle for serious or even moderate off-road, but rather just a cool day or two a week use; but certainly don't want the GW to look disproportionate like guys with 12" lifts and 225 tires!

Personally, I wouldn’t do it. Wouldn’t look right.

The 4” skyjacker made an enormous difference from stock height. Unless you’re trying to make up for something 4” is plenty.

This post is almost two years old. But he ended up going with a rough country. I think due to price. I would not advise a rough country, as their ride matches their name.

Which one do you think I should go for instead?

You should probably create a new thread asking that question, that way we can separate it from this old one.
