[QB]Jeff,
How do the Toyo's fit? I have a DJM 2/4 drop with 275/45/20 Goodyear's and it doesn't look like I can go any bigger on tire size. I might be able to fit some of those new Nitto 255/50/20's.
Does the Hotchkis lowering kit make your truck sit that much higher than mine? That's weird. I would love to put some 265/50/20's (front and back) on my truck but I don't think they'll work.
QB]</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Toyos fit perfect! Actually, I don't think I could go much bigger without problems. The overall diameter is around 29.5 inches. I'm running 295/45/20's and 265/50/20's. They are the same diameter but the 265's are slightly wider by maybe a 1/2 inch or more. Looking back I should have just gotten the same size but I was hoping the difference in width would be greater. I guess Toyo's dimensions aren't exactly perfect. I love the tires though, took some on ramps at about 45-50mph with no tire howl at all.
I don't think my Hotchkis kit is the full 2-4 inches. Mine always seems taller than most, especially those with a DJM drop. Maybe DJM goes a little lower than advertised or a combination of both?

Neil 6.0,
The Infinitys sound really good even going through the stock head unit. I'm sure they would be even better through something with a bit more kick. I've always had good luck with Infinity so that's why I went with them again.
BigJ
Thanks for the compliments. Yours is look really good too.
Nine Ball,
I can see why your a bit biased. About 3 weeks after I got my tailgate back from the guy that does my painting, some jerk in the Wally World parking lot let thier cart ram into it near the driver side taillight. It put a nice, very noticeable ding in it and of course had to hit the roll pan and the taillight too so that they all need fixing/replacing.
I'm so glad I came and joined here today, haven't talked to you guys in ages and now you've got me excited about working on my truck again. Thanks!

Anybody know if you can fit 265/50/20's with a DJM 2/4? I hate the way the 275/45/20's ride, you can feel every bump and hole in the road. I currently have my stockers back on (235/75/16) and they feel way better.

I agree about the Hotchkis not being as low as other drop kits. Mine is not a low as a buddys with springs/shackles/hangers.
Glad to see ya around again Jeff. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
