Truck looks good KB, I’m curious on what you did to drop your 4x4 and how is the ride quality?

They are qouted at a 30" O.D. so you will be looking at a 29-29.5" overall height. I wish General made a grabber UHP like you are running in a 265/70/17 or 275/65/17

I've got 275/60R17 Cooper Cobra Radial GTs on my stock 17x7.5 aluminum wheels. They are a little shorter than the stock 245/70R17 Generals, but they don't squeal on sharp turns near as much and they definitely hook up better. They also protect the rim better from curbs since they are considerably wider. I think they look a lot better also.

I'll try to remember to get pictures (maybe even video) tomorrow.

Actual, its a little lower now. In those pics I just have the 2" lift block removed from the rear and about 5 turns off the t-bars.

Now I have 2" lowering shackes on it and helper air bags so I can still load it and tow, and took another 4 turns or so out of the T-bars and trimmed a bit off the bump stops. Also ditched the running boards, badges, stickers and mud flaps. I can't find any current pics and it's on jack stands right now.

Rides really good!
