Default lowering and tire hight?s

Just ordered my lowering struts through suspension source pt#b25003. Any advice is appreciated. For now im gonna keep them at stock hight. But I will lower the truck when I ware out my 33s. Im gonna lower 2in in the back also. Should i get some shackles fome a sponsor or a local parts store?a part #would be great if yall have any. Truck is in my sig. Im wanting to go as wide as possible (im goin for atleast 13.5 or wider) for the back tires but I wanna stay some what stock hight. I wanna go as skinny as possible in the front. Do yall have any tire size that wont be dumb lookin? I know this question has been beat to death. Sorry

I would think the stock size would be fine with a small drop loke that. I ran stock size on my 4/6 drop on my old truck in my signature for a long time.

I don't have any first hand experience on the nnbs trucks but only lowering it 2 maybe three in the rear I'd say you could fit a 13.5 in the rear if not more. Hopefully someone that has done this will chime in.

Can't help on the tire part but you can use Belltech part number 6401, it will get you 2" to 3" of drop.
