Sequence wheels/tires then lift? Or vice versa?

[Goodrx]

May be a silly question. What should I do first? Do a lift on the stock wheels and tires then switch to aftermarket? I
Know I have to align it but not 100% sure what process would be best.

Hi Mason,

Good question! My vote would be tires first then lift and alignment so you can address any clearance issues. As far as alignment....once aligned, the truck does not care what tire is on the vehicle unless the alignment device requires tire diameter, which most do not these days. Never having lifted a truck, this is just my opinion.... More experienced moders will hopefully chime in to this question.

If your even contemplating a lift,always do a proper lift first.
Then you buy the right tires and wheels that will fit the lift.
Don’t spend money twice.
