well I have 20" panther juices right now. I'm trying to sell them to buy either american racing rt-s's or boss 315(black of course). Tires are 285/50/20 and I know those will not fit, lol. I'll just put my stock ones back on.

Thx for all the replys so far guys. For the record my truck is a reg cab SWB.

the only thing I want to know now is, if I have 20's what kind of tire sizes should I look at and it not rub. Can you guys provide some links with the shocks you are using?

tire sizes for a 4/6 are dependant mostly upon your wheels offset, but many are running the following sizes:

255/35/20
245/40/20
255/40/20
255/45/20
275/35/20

275/45/20 with proper wheel offset
295/40/20 in rear

There may be requirements for the fender lips to be rounded for certain offsets and tire sizes.

deucedbow that's a clean ride you have there, very nice. Also, a couple folks over at fullsizegmc have said that alignment with the DJM has been an issue for some, so I'm really just undecided on which kit to buy. I think I'll throw a quarter up in the air and go off of that, lol.
