you talk about c-notching like it's no big deal lol. I'm not big in to lowered trucks, but I can tell you I would avoid hacking up frame if at all possible. If you could drop the rear another inch or so without a torch then I would do that. Otherwise, +1 in the front or just leave it alone. Or go +1 in the front and slap some 22's on it. Bigger wheels would make it look better at the height it's at right now. A good friend of mine just raised his 05' up off the ground some to replace his 22's with 24's, and it looks better than ever. Plus it rides better and he doesn't drag on every driveway he pulls into.

x3 on tinting the taillights, that's the first thing that popped into my mind.
Nice truck.

i would say more than half of the trucks that are lowered on this site are c-notched.

my truck is not that low and i have a belltech notch.

with the 8.5 centerlines, how close to rubbing the rear fender are you with the 275?

i had centerline phantom stingrays at one point 20x8.5 with 255/50/20 nittos and they clipped my fenders. that forced me to sell them... 4/2 djm kit

my intros are 20x10 with ~7 backspace. plenty of room for the 295s with 4/2 belltech/eibach kit
