I keep thinking about lowering my truck more because I overall think it will look better lowered. It is already lowered, it is supposed to be 2" springs in the front(were on when i bought it) but i dont know if it is actually 2". I have a 265/70/17(aprox 31.5 tall) tire on there right now and the front sits at 33.5/34 with my lean. What are your guys stock 2wd height and 2" drop height, I could really use a good measurement with tires that are close to the same size. I have searched and every person with a 2/4 drop has a smaller tire than me, about a 30" tire on average i would say

The rear is a little bit higher than the front and it has 2" lowering shackles on it. It is about 1" to 1.5" higher than the front. I could just level it out by getting hangers and puting shackles in the 1" position but I kind of want to go lower. But im afraid of going lower because i have wayyyyy to much tire on there. If i go lower, i want to add 2" spindles in the front and do 4" total in the rear. So any thoughts on what I should go with. I really would like to know if i dropped it another 2" in the front and 2" shackles in the rear, how bad would i rub with them massive tires??

Opinions please

 

You cant go much lower with those tires.
I have a 3/4 with 265/60/18 (30.5) and i hit my inner fenderwell if im not careful, and out back im pushing it.

are you on stock 17's?

 

I just purchased some 08 tahoe 17's for the winter. I have SS 20's in the summer on 275/45 tires. they would work much better for dropping but them im screwed when winter comes around

 

275/45/20 will be good al the way down to 4/6 maybe more. but i wouldnt go much lower on the 17's without smaller tires

 

dang.... thats not what i wanted to hear.

 

U live in MI, & u drive thru the winter? And you want to go lower than 2/4?!? Mine w/ a 2/4 on stock 16"s ( I believe 30.5" tire) isn't the best in the winter. I can barely pull out of our banked driveway when a few inches of snow is on ground. Even no snow & the front airdam is ~2-3" off ground. The frame drags when there's a bit more.

The measurement you speak of is to the bottom of fender( or wheelarch) ?
I know I have all these measurements written down @ home. If I come across them, would u like my specs? I was very particular about before & after specs, BTW.

 

I dont think Michigan weather will be that bad. I'm over on the far east side of the state and all the lake effect snow drops before us. And the front of my truck is a lot higher than 2-3" off of the ground, i think there is probably a big difference between you and me there. I have never even been close to my frame dragging, even on entering a sloped driveway.

If you can find those measurements, that would be awesome!

 

With perfect backspacing yes, but for most rims they will not work for anything lower than a 3/6

 

dang.... that ruins my idea of going lower with they 20's on there too cause i think they stick out too far a lot of drop. I just need to level it out, i think it will look good then.

 

Why not just run smaller tires? The 275/55/20s that probably came with it are ugly as can be. In my opinion they don't belong on a "performance truck." If I were you I'd run a 275/40/20. Those would look great and you could run up to a 5/8
