    also the reason i was waiting is because i've seen conflicting reports on how much 4x4 leafs lower it, i've seen anywhere from 1'" to 2" on here so i didnt know.

    Youre gonna want to ride super stiff, 22's are going to be too much for anymore drop. And in to of that series tire you are going to rip through rims on those Tennessee roads. I'm running 4.5/5.5 on 18's with 35 series tires..... you'll want the adjustables up front..... the only people I know that run 20's or bigger are bagged..... you'll have a lot of cutting to do

    ive been looking at wheels for the last couple of days and after seeing brendo ballz808 i cant get them off my mind and even the wife likes them which is rare, i might have to order some, the stance wheels but i dont know to either go with the +20 or the +35 if i decide on them we will see.

    +20 will work in the rear, +35 up front.

    i assume what you are saying is due to the camber and pulling the lca in, the extra .59 is justified, correct? also i see you are partial to the nitto neo gens in previous post do you still feel the same.

    I'm going to do the same, especially now that I have access to a 9 acre division 5 steel fabrication/ erection facility.




    Moving them up should push them back out but if you move to far you might Fuck yourself. That's why I suggest choppimg the bushing mounts and heiming.

    I worked in the field for 4 years and am certified. With my degree I am now out of the field behind a computer keeping clean and healthy. Don't you worry, I plan to put it all to great use.:cool:

    not my work or my truck, i wish i could get this made with a 3 inch drop its built off the factory specs and would have the adjust-ability im looking for, but probably just ride with camber until i see what Phil comes up with.
