Default Drop?

Would you happen to know the tire height?
I'm going to run my modified A-arms (see earlier post) and either a shorter coil or a trimmed spring, I'll see after I go the two inches how it looks. The rear is the standard shackle / hanger combo.
I thought about the 3" spring also but nobody could really give me a decent answer about how the ride is, It looks like it would be sitting on the bumpstops though.
I'll post some pics when I get it all together. Oh yea, The tire height is just a hair over 29" - About 1" shorter than my stockers.

I think Fast4.8 (Greg) has 3" springs in the front. I will go to his website and see what drop he used. At first I was thinking about using set of 2" DJM spindles, a set of 1" coils from Belltech and the regular 4" drop in the rear but that came out way too expensive. I did see your post earlier but I guess I wasn't paying attention to who posted. That is cool that you modified your own a-arms. My friend said that he could do that to mine but I am just afraid to have someone cut away at the suspension. So with that tire hieght it I wouldn't need to recalibrate the speedo. Thanks for the info.

I was just looking at the EXACT wheels at the local tire shop and came home and figured i'd check eBay and these came up so I grabbed them.

I looked on summit and there 240 each, more pricy then I thought eagles would be.

Looks like its centerline rapids for me.

I've been thinking about those myself. Looks great with the tire you picked. Any idea how much they weigh?
