Default know im gona get flamed for this one...

Well I got a 98 z28. Been hit 3 times, got a 94 front end on it 3 different colors. Looks like hell. Runs perfect tho. I wana do a mad max/death race type deal to it. How can I go about lifting it up a bit to get some 33s or somthin on there. Guys do it all the time with massive rims so I figured why the hell not lol. Its not a daily, I got a 03 vette for that.

Sorry but I'd say you have about a 98% chance that you'll just look like a redneck and not bad ***. Maybe if you scale back your plans to 29s like some 255/65-16s but still...

I say just plasti dip it flat black or OD green with some black rims and call it good.

looks like a very expensive suspension setup. i agree that the best bet would be to bolt the body on a blazer frame..

33s is a bit much. Do as suggested and get a flat black or olive drab color and some black rims. You can do an aggressive looking tire if you want.

Like others have said if you want to do it on somewhat of a budget then transplanting onto a truck frame will have to be done otherwise google search... cant believe I am saying it "donk Camaro kits" BUT your looking at a lot of money.
Good luck and have fun!

I didn't have and luck finding 4th gen F-body but this give you the right idea.

And here is how to do it for cheap and not have it be permanent.
You can do the whole job for about $325 or $225 if you've got a paint sprayer like you would use on a house, deck, or fence, if you watch some of the early videos they would use a Wagner power painter.
