    Also I don’t know if you know but these 350Z front wheels in the link below are the same size & offset as the X-runner wheels. These in the link are outrageously priced but I’ve seen them as cheap as $300 for a set. Just make sure you see them spin on a balance machine to make sure they aren’t bent!
    I only say this because I seen a lowered reg cab setting at a traffic light cross from me and I thought it looked really good as it drove away. I was really shocked. I have the same width and offset on Forged G35 19” wheels.

    @Hayrider

    Going for 2" drop spindle up front and 2" Belltech blocks in the rear next.. this will bring me to roughly 4" of drop.

    Coilovers and/or a rear notch may be needed down the road depending on the outcome, wish me smooth bottom out free driving!!

    Sorry but unless have more than 3” of travel and some stiffer rear shocks your are going to bottom. Sorry just a fact of using a solid live rear axle…

    No need to be sorry @Hayrider, it will be what it will be and I am not worried about further tuning as I go!

    I will be roughly about 2.5" travel so I guess we will see how much it bottoms out and when.... any experience/tips with them bolt on c notches?!

    If you didn't see my saga with the one in my truck... it's not entirely the notches fault since the install was done poorly by someone before me. But the reinforcement plates from DJM were pretty awfully welded with zero penetration and they separated when the frame cracked. I'd recommend having a professional install/custom c-notch from a reputable performance shop due to your use of the truck and high stress loads. I'm planning on tubing the rear of my frame when I go 4 link, so my "meh" c-notch doesn't bother me too much.
