Have a good search for "virtual lift" - That's how it's commonly referred to on here.

There are MANY different methods - from quick and rough to very, very time consuming and neat.

I punched "virtual+lift sierra" into the search engine and got this thread straight away.

PS welcome to the board.

31"s fit in the arch pretty easy, redrilling your spring perches to move your diff 20mm forward, big hammer, rim offset and some decent bumpstops will likely negate the need for much if any chop.
I run 32"s with only around 2" lift but i reckon i could easily drop that and still be ok.

that tyre is looking pretty tucked in there MrRocky - are you getting headlight bucket contact in that situation?

Nah i have given them a slight tap and they come very close but the stock lwb rear top spring seems to centralise the wheel perfectly in the wheel arch. Offset was super critical theres only a couple mm clearance in places, 50mm spacers in the rear and 35mm in the front, i tried a few other options but this is the only one that worked
