305/65/17

[2007 dmax]

Ok so now I've got a gmc 2007 classic with hummer h2 wheels with nitto trail grapplers 35s and my torsions jacked up.. Ime tired of the ride an how it drives an my cv angles. So my question is if i put drop shakles on an turn my torsion bars down will a 305/65 rub..?? I know it would depend on how low my front end is, so my plan is maybe put my shakles on 1st then just level it out? Surly some of you guys have done this..

Should work fine, you won't be able to drop down to stock height though. I have 285/70/17 on mine right now with H2's and they don't rub. Front is about 1" higher than stock. That 305/65/17 is the same height tire and a bit wider so you might have to keep the front up more than mine. I would leave the shackle alone for now to see if you like how it sits.

Thanks for the reply. How much does a 2" shakle actually drop it? Its not a full 2" is it? Ime still trying to figure out what brand of tire i should go with..

Back in the 90's the drop shackles were not 2". They were a bit shorter as the 2" drop was measured at the tailgate.

Ended up with a Nitto Exo grappler an since they don't make a 305 YET i did what i normly do an orderd them in a 35/12.5/17. Getting them mounted up in the morning.

Let me know how you like them. I'm probably going to try them next after the duratracs. Have snow? Those two are the only snowflake rated 35 tires afaik.
