Looking to do a 3 inch drop shackle for the rear and lower the t-bars down up front. Decided this the other day after i got a price on 2 tires and they were $752 for what I have now. Thinking about running the nitto 420 tires for my new tires. There only like 200 a piece. Only problem I foresee with them is that I do tow some (sometimes a heavy trailer and others a little 17' bass boat) and am not sure how well they will hold up. With the heavy trailer the farthest I travel is 200-300 miles.

Whats everyone think about this set up? Also where can I order some 3 inch lowering shackles, all I have seen is 2 inch.

Thanks,
Derek

My Nitto 420's towed just fine , but IMOP it depends on the tongue weight of your trailer ? we were able to load the trailer so tong weight wasn't terrible , enough to sink the truck down about 3" or so with stock leafs and the tires werent squishing to bad or anything .

Okay thanks for the help Trent. I think ill give it a try towing with them and if I do have a problem with tire wear ill just throw my stockers back on. And ill also make sure i put air im my air bags. That should also help right?

X2 ebay has em for $75 plus $10 shipping. I've got sum on the way. I love the look of nitto 420's. just a heads up a guy I talked to said he only got 15,000 miles out of a new set. Traction should be good tho cuz they are really soft
