Here you go. Figured I would just make a thread since I have had a few people ask me in the past week. The top few are with 305/50/20s and 3" drop shackles, the bottom is still with 3" drops but on H2s and 315/70/17s :eek:

Yeah, mine is already on the bump stops. I have seen drop knuckles before for 2500/3500.

I love how my truck looks at the track, with the bars slammed and the rear springs clamped, I just hate the ride.

I just cut the bumpstops, no drop keys. Easy peasy, and it doesnt really ride much different. The H2s i painted myself, the 20s are black from american eagle. I have 18s on now and have done some other stuff ill have to get some new pics up. It never stops :D

Can you describe how you painted them? Like what type of primer/paint. Sanding and such.

Yes! I love the change my wheels ook better on your rig and yours look better on mine. Now I can't wait till she rolls out of the garage
your turbo is going to be the cleanest thing ever. maybe we should keep real good track of all this for future people installing aftermarket chargers running into the same problems :D

IMO- that trucks sits perfect.

My hope is that mine will sit the same maybe a touch lower in the front. I have drop spindles, I can prolly get the rest in the bars. MAy i ask the distance between the rear axle and the frame? About 4 1/2"?

In an effort to get a smaller wheel different tire combo, i wanna look into 5 lug conversion/adapter thingy. Save a few pounds and be able to run a wider selection of tires.

I like that truck! Hammer swinger? Are you a wood butcher? Stander 'O the sticks? :confused:
