What size tires?

Do you want it to ride terrible all the time or do you want it be a good all around daily that won't jar your teeth out?

I'd go with a 3/6 or 4/6 drop with a rear C-Notch.

I don't know what tire I will be running but the truck is a dd and want to go as low as possible. I know the ride will change because it will be dropped.

Well find out what tire you're gonna run lol. And again, do you want it to ride terrible or alright for a DD?

Also, what do you consider real issues? You can go as low as you want but scrapping the road on every bump is no fun

But imo 4/6 would be the lowest I'd go period.

Probably going to run a 275/40/22 tire. Would a 5/7 or 5/8 be to low for a daily?
