Personally, I wouldn't even consider shortening the sidewall like that without dropping the truck a lot further. The shorter sidewall increases the distance between the tire and the wheel lip. So, dropping two inches but then putting on a tire that's 2.5" shorter is going to make the wheel gap nearly the same. In addition, a shorter sidewall creates an optical illusion; the smaller sidewall makes the wheel gap look larger. And even though you're only lowering the suspension 2", you're lowering the body of the truck by over 3". So, you're losing quite a bit of ground clearance but the truck won't really appear to be that much lower.

Sidewalls that short really need a lot more drop to look good, IMO. I think you're going to need something more in the range of a 5/6 drop for it to look right.

I was trying to keep my personal preferences out of it since they were not asked for....
