Those are what is on my truck with my torsion bars all the way down it is slightly raked.
You don't need to go that low to run the Nitto 420S. What size rims? There is a pretty good selection of 305-50R20 performance tires.

another thing you will want to watch out for is the trans X member. Mike L just came out with a slick new one though.
imo you may want to look into spindles. they are the best way to get it down and still have the same suspension geometry. only thing is you would need to run 17s or bigger.

Only thing about spindles is that with the T-bars down the CVs are at very negative angles, IMO you can get a 4x4 plenty low without spindles - unless you want to crank the T-bars up at the track.

i hear ya. it all depends on what you're using it for. keys will work but they just will not ride as well. you will need to either cut the bump stops or put smaller ones in and also run stiffer shock like mentioned.
lower control arms is another option but they are pricey.

I didn't mean installing drop keys in it, I meant lowering the stock keys all the way down. I don't think he's looking to drag the ground here - a 305-50-R20 is a 12" x 32" tire.

im not trying to lay it out or nothing i really like the way othrgrl's truck looks thats sort of what im going for you running a 20x10? does it scrub at all?
yea i know that. i never liked the ride i had with stock keys dropped all the way down. it was like riding on hydros.
you can run drop keys cranked up, this way you will be a little lower yet still have torsion on the bars to actually act the way they should. when i ran my stock keys all the way loostened i could hear the bars/keys rattle when i hit a good bump.

Mine are 20x9 with 305-50R20s and I don't have inner wheel wells. I very rarely scrub anything, but with inner wheel wells you likely will.
Don't know how they are but all I could think of http://suspensionmaxx.com/mm5/8b_classic_k2500_k3500_hd.html
I have a brand new set of Mcgaughy drop keys that I just decided not to use if you haven't bought some already, shoot me a pm if interested
