Default Need more info on the 7/9 Truck with 22s

Hey everyone,

I was hoping to see some more photos of the black regular cab on 22s that is lowered 7/9. I'm mostly interested in seeing the fender clearance in front and back. I was looking at mine today, and I don't see how I could get an extra 2" without tubbing the front and rear. Any pics/advice?

His pics say he's got 7/9 on 24's not 22's that's ridiculous man lol should have bagged it if he wanted to do that but a badass truck none the less. The headline for one of his pics said he ran an 11.8 with NOS this sound too quick or what? I'm not too familiar with the truck til I saw the pics.

Thanks for the info. Does he rub on the rear inner fenders? Also, what did he do for a notch?

well on my crew cab i have like a 7/9 drop too and in the front it dont rub that much unless theres like a big *** dip but on the rear thats the only problem i have it rubs it already burned all my paint through the inside were it rubs on top. all i have is front control arms and cut spring in front and in the rear i have flip kit , shackles and custom c-notch like a bag one but dont have my bed cut i just cut off that middle rail on the bottom of the bed. Oh and i had to change the driveshaft to a two piece because that single piece would vibrate at top end.
