Default Installed my new wheels. 24"

It took me forever to pick out a set of wheels and tires (size) but it think it was worth it. I'm very happy with the look.

4/5 Drop - 295/35R24

Looks good but your not gonna get much use out of the 4x4 though. Why didnt you go with a 2wd? You plan on AWD in the future?

If they had a 2wd truck on the lot I may have opted to save some money and go with it but the dealerships around her pretty much only stock 4x4's.
It's is nice to have 4wd on those couple snow days we get in NJ and for the ski trips up north. My old '88 2wd Silverado was horrible in the snow and I swore I would never get one again for a daily driver.

That makes sence. Have you thought about making it a full time AWD? It would be badass if you could smoke all four tires at once!
I like the stance of it but it looks like you could use a little more positive camber in the front.

These trucks have a 4wd auto mode, not sure if that's the same as full time AWD or not but for the most part this truck stays in 2wd so I wouldn't change all that. Dude I would need some serious work to spin all 4 wheels. Spinning 2 wheels is hard enough as is. lol

Sts aligned it they said the camber and toe were is aligned to factory spec but the caster on the passenger side was a degree out of spec. Rides good, no squealing around turns or pulling.
