lowered truck pics

The wheels will be -44 offset. I know that's very negative but I've seen it done like in the pic I attached just like I said I can't find any details from the guys that have done it
I've actually explained it about 9 different times in this thread alone. It's a lot of work and not for the faint of heart.
I apologize I'm still new to posting on forums. I've skimmed through this thread but must have missed your posts. Just skimming through 93 pages gave me a headache haha by a lot of I assume you're meaning lots of trimming and cutting. Am I correct? Again I apologize that you're repeating yourself.
Yes it's an extreme amount of cutting. Sorry havnt had time to sit down and type it all up
That's okay no problem. I know I'm going to have to cut. A lot. I was gonna trim the bumper starting at the top of the metal and follow the curve of the fender to trim maybe a total if 2 or 3 inches by the time I'm at the bottom of the lower valance instead of just a straight cut which I've seen and really don't care for. Then do the large fender mod in the back for sure and try to get every inch I can. I have a good friend that works at an auto body shop that's gonna help me do it the right way. Not just a sawzall. I do still have flares and would like to keep them. I swear I have another pic but it refuses to let me attach it for some reason
I don't see how you guys can make 12 wides fit. I have lml 20s and 2 inch adapters on my 02 so like -7ish offset with 265/60. I cut the spot welds and folded the lip on the inner fenders and pushed them back. Still rubs the plastics on the front bumper but I hate the way chopped bumpers look so I refuse to cut it haha. I have 3 inch drop shackles and keys decranked to level angles.

So weird, I did zero cutting or trimming with the same wheel with a bigger tire, but I'm lowered a full 4/6. Maybe it's a GMC thing
I think if lowered the front my bumper would stop rubbing because the full hight of the tire would be more aligned with the curve of the bumper which curves back in.So weird, I did zero cutting or trimming with the same wheel with a bigger tire, but I'm lowered a full 4/6. Maybe it's a GMC thing

They're a 265/60 or 65 I can't remember. They measure just shy of 33". And thanks I used to have your pickup on the back ground of my phone, I started looking for a set of these after seeing yours. I'll probably remove my overloads and drop the front some more again some day but I have too much stuff going on at the moment haha

Ahhh OK, fwiw I do rub on the wheel liners up front a smidge when turning but nowhere on the bumper and it's not cut.
The more I look at the NBS the more you guys were right, flying bricks compared to there predecessors.
Gonna go down another inch on mine yet
