Lowering on 22s..??
 

So i figured since i have a 2wd theres no point in trying to lift it so i guess ill just put 22s all the way around & lower it. Does anybody have pics of one lowered?? Its my daily driver so i need something that will still ride good, i was thinking maybe a 2/4 or a 3/5???

I ran 20's on my 68 LWB truck for 2 years. Front suspension is 3.5 total drop (2.5 drop spindle and 1 inch drop coil) and rear was 4" lowering springs. 20's on all four corners with 245/40/20 front and 275/45/20 rear. The ride was nice when cruising on a smooth road without any potholes but terrible if road conditions are not ideal, you give up a lot of tire sidewall when running big rims especially if you decide to go with 22's. In my opinion, if this is going to be your daily driver and you want big rims, try to setup your truck so that your drop still allows for some decent suspension travel and can run some tires that still have some decent sidewall on them so you do not beat up your rims and yourself when driving it. I'm sure others will chime in about their experiences with running large rims/low profile tires and dropped suspension.

love that black truck. I'll be doing the same only flat black

Thanks guys... The ride is a little stiff, but I'm used to it. Yeah if your roads are really crappy you will not enjoy the ride on low-pro's, you'll be dodging potholes..

Well mine is the wrong body style... But i think i have about what you are looking at and like this guy said it SUCKS with crappy roads.. And where i live we have plenty of them BUT it is worth it and is not really a problem if you know the roads and take your time... Smooth roads its a really good ride if you ask me.. Anyways here is my 1970 on 20's

Dont know exact drop but it should be around what you are wanting to do
