New wheels on, from 15's to 20's.
Got the Cragars sold. They looked good but the Ridler's fit my style more
The drop is a 3.5 / 4...27in tires in front, 27.8 in the rear. 20x8.5, 20x10's. 255/35 and 275/35 Hankook's. I think I will go ahead and drop it another 2 inches all around. Before  After    Posted via Mobile Device

Re: New wheels on, from 15's to 20's.
The truck looks lower with the Cragers than with the new ones. I like it though and another 2"'s will look right at home!
Very nice! I like the caddy wagon to. I started to buy the wife one but she wanted a small SUV instead.

Yeah to pull it off with the 35 series tires they almost need to either tuck or meet the fender line. Sucks I just spent the money to have it loweredonly to find out not enough. I may just cut the front springs and replace the rears. What ever is easiest at this point. I see your running the same size tires, can you post a couple pics. Nice truck BTW

Re: New wheels on, from 15's to 20's.
You have a very nice truck. The 15's looked better to me. Would have been cool with bigs in the back and littles up front.
The "big" wheels look out of place to me on these trucks. Gary
