Guy's picked up some ck375's with some 305/40/22's, so i'm thinking the tires are going to be to big for my 6 and 4 drop, what ya'll think! THANKS!

I have Grabber UHP 305/45/22 on my truck with stock height in front. They rub ever so slightly at full lock. It would probably be safe for you to go a little smaller but I dont have much experience with fitment on dropped trucks. I have only done a 2" rear on mine. Hope that helps!

I have factory Escalade wheels on 305s on my 09 4wd. The truck is lowered with Mcguaghy's spindles up front. I have no rubbing at all.
How did it work out?

So far it's good, but got to get the front down another inch or so, got some adjustable struts coming so should no something in a day or two. THANKS!

Guy's put the struts on over the weekend and lowered the truck another inch and a half and the tires scrub like hell, it's a little raked to so thinking I'm going to go back up a inch and go from there. THANKS!
