I don't wanna go down the road with camber, so I guess it should be "How low without wearing my tires out fast"

I don't know what size tires I would run, but just tell me what you're run'n & that'll be good enough

Thanks, Matt

Legally you can not have anything (example front sway bar) lower then the bottom of your rim. This is referred to as the scrub line.

esll. :)

Shaved markers and shaved door handles are not legally required.

ONE exterior mirror is.

More than 3" or so of spring drop will cause you alignment problems up front- i.e. camber, caster, and bump steer problems. Any more than 3" should come from spindles or crossmember sectioning or frame Zing.

re-6's do not belong on full sizes. and you will drag on the ground way before you air out with those "cups" just z it. :}

you can use 6's on a full size. ive had mine on for years. you will get more lift with the 7's though. but if thats what you got then its good.. you will have to run more pressure to get the extra height
