2.5 drop spindles, coils cut 1 coil for 2 inch more drop

so 4.5 front

5 inch rear springs with full gas tank under frame, so like a 6 inch drop

TravisH · 12-27-2007, 06:53 PM

how do you feel about the rear width? I can get a good deal on some 20x8.5s but I'm worried about being narrow in the back

72BlckButy · 12-27-2007, 11:48 AM

Those shoes look great! They turned the look around 100%.

matthufham · 12-27-2007, 07:11 PM

they are narrow, and i would like a deeper dish, and i ended up using a spacer to push em out more, and they don't get as much traction as a 20X10

those are the cons

the pro's are i can rotate my rims to any corner, and well, that's all i can think of

72_cheyenne · 02-09-2009, 05:08 PM

what is the offset on those rims??
