i put 38" tires on stock wheels so yes you can run 285s

it wouldnt be huge but it would probably be proportional and you would pick up mpg and speed from the smaller tires

sweet so what wood you run as far as tires if you were in my shoes under my conditions with the truck cuz u mentioned 38's and thats far from wat my truck can run ahah

toyo proxes or proxes ii are cheap and should ride/handle well for you

This is totally out of line :P

Unless you offroad why would you want a jacked 4x4? Give me a break, lowering my Z71 was the best thing next to steak and gravy. I have full use of the 4x4 for severe road conditions and still get over any terrain a 2wd is able to mount. Comfort getting in and out, better handling and way better stability.

I see hundreds of lifted trucks in my city, I bet none of them ever see the dirt or mud. To each his own, right?

I couldnt agree with you anymore. And plus its his truck. he could do whatever he wants to with it. I live i montana and there a so many lifted trucks around it insane. I lowered my z71 and still drove it in the winter and i was almost tuckin 22s and i still used 4wd in the winter if i needed to.

Truck looks good!

Well said Bill! I have lifted my truck and I do take it off road once and a while BUT I like the look of a lifted truck and you like the look of a lowered truck. So yes each to there own.

Looks good, so what did you use on the front? Spindles and keys? I assume the back is shackles, hangers, and removing the blocks right?

i just got a set of 275/60/17 proxes st 2...they do hook and look good...
i think i got a good deal..500 for all 4 of them..well that was a "hook up" deal...

but yea u need to take them stikers off and be a total killer...they wont know wat smackd them once u take off..lol

I'll NEVER understand... WHY do people need to ask "Why lower a 4 wheel drive!?"?? The answer: BECAUSE SOMEONE OWNS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK AND WANTS TO LOWER IT! It's like someone buys a Blue shirt, and another person doesn't like the color Blue and asks "Why buy a Blue shirt!?". In MY opinion, why NOT lower a 4 wheel drive truck a bit...at least if you're not gonna take it off road and thrash it. They look SICK lowered, they handle better, AND in the snow/ice you can still use the 4 wheel drive! Sorry to rant, but I get sick of people hijacking threads on forums asking the same stupid question! By the way, nice truck!!!
