2 1/2 and 4 inch drop with 17s
I am going with 2 /2 inch drop spindles and 4 inch drop springs in the back and plan on running 17 inch wheels and would like to see pics of any trucks with a similar setup.Also would like to know what size tire I can put front and back with this setup.

And they way I looked at it (or justified it at least lol) was you'd be into $1000 for any decent set of wheels so really these just cost me a $1000 (more). And if you've ever shopped for 6 lug options you'd know there's not a lot of options. |

Re: 2 1/2 and 4 inch drop with 17s
Thanks.I was expecting more people to chime in on this. Maybe I should have asked who is running 17s.

Re: 2 1/2 and 4 inch drop with 17s
This pic is with a 3.5/5 drop.
17x8 255/50/17 17x9.5 275/55/17 Tires are Hankook Ventus ST With only a 2.5/4 drop, I recommend a 255/60/17-275/60/17 tire combo. The taller tire will fill the wheelwells up better.

Re: 2 1/2 and 4 inch drop with 17s
I like the look of those. 68 stepbed do you have any problems with tire scrub?

Re: 2 1/2 and 4 inch drop with 17s
Yes, but only because of incorrect backspacing on my rear wheels. I got in a hurry and ordered the cheaper wheels in stock instead of ordering ones with correct backspacing. My rear wheels have a 5.5" backspace and I have to run a 7/16" spacer to keep them from rubbing. 5" backspacing is ideal on steppers with a 9.5" wheel.

Re: 2 1/2 and 4 inch drop with 17s
68 stepbed your trucks is almost exactly like what I am going to do with mine. Current plans are to go with either the Dodge bright blue from around 2000 or the bright blue that is on Toyota trucks now. Although my daughter wants it black with real flames (she has no clue what things cost).I am also looking for a 6.0 liter to put in it.
