I am running those struts and we set the truck at one ring short from the stock height number. Each ring is good for aobut 1/2" difference. Now I will tell you that the only real hinderance to the lowering is the plastic front fenderwell. I wore a hole in both of mine in a week, so I applied a little NASCAR thinking and cut an opening in the top of the plastic liner. (there is a steel fenderwell behind the liner). I then heated and folded the edges of the plastic liner opening up against the steel fender liner and pop riveted them to it. I gained a good inch more clearance and it works fine. I sealed the edges with an undercoating material. I have not put any special alignment items on the truck as of yet, but it has been aligned.
I have 20" factory rims that have a 30.4" diameter tire on them. A smaller tire will clear easily.
