I Have A 2004 Gmc Rcsb That I Have Put 285/35/22 Front And Rear On And Am In The Process Of Lowering It I Am Doing Mcgaughy's Spindles And Bell Tech Shackles And Hangers My Question Is Can I Pull Overload Leaf To Lower Back Approx .75 And Cut .5 Of A Coil In The Front To Get .75 To A 1 In The Front Totaling 2.75 To 3 In Front And 4.75 In Rear . I Want The Back To Set Up A Little. I Also Really Don't Want It To Rub At All Or Very Very Little If Possible Anybody Running Anything Similar Maybe 275/45/20 If You Have Pics Please Show Them Thanks Also Hows Ride Quality.

 

hey man, I have a 2/4 drop and I have 305 40 and I rub when I hit small bumps. I dont know the tire height difference between mine and yours but I hope it helps

 

I have the exact same tire size and have a 2/4 drop with no rubbing at all. Here is a pic of mine https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208616

 

Personaly I would not go any lower than 2/4 on 22's.

 

Reguardless of wheel size the frame needs to be planted on the ground to look good Laying out on 22's looks awesome

 

By the way...don't pull the overload spring, you will not be happy with the ride...

 

I Am Not Real Happy With Ride Right Now I Lowered Back With Part Of The Bell Tech Kit ( Shackle) And Put Wheels On The Same Day (day After I Pick Up The Truck In Arkansas) I Have Not Put Shocks On Yet And Going Done The Highway The Back End Of The Truck Shakes Alot. But On Perfectly Smooth Surface It Is Allright. Any Ideas Thanks Mike

 

remember, if you are going with anything over a 4" rear drop you are going to have to run a notch as well, otherwise you are contantly going to be hittin the bump stops, and that is going to be REALLY annoying.

 

I would do a 2/4 drop with 22s. I've seen it before and to me it looks like the perfect stance. Unless you want that low rider look, slam it on the ground. Some people like "laying frame" but that's just not me

 

I agree, i've even heard of people bottoming out once in awhile with a 2/4. You can always run "button bumpstops" to give you extra suspension travel out back, but a notch is the way to go. Anything less than a 4/6 doesn't even look lowered to me. 2/4's just look stock and aren't worth the money or time IMO...especially when you consider most 2/4 guys quickly move onto 4/6 or 5/7 soon after.

I have a 4-link rear suspension out back and i'll challenge anybody's truck as far as ride quality goes It is better than it was even at stock, and that is saying a lot considering the amount of rear suspension travel I am capable of.
