Talking two-ninety-five 50/15 pics

It was actually less than a year, but it felt like forever. I finally got my 295/50/15 BFG rubber mounted to my 15x10's out back.
I like it, I LIKE it, I LIKE IT!!!

Damn, I KNEW that this question was going to be asked...but I don't have the measurements handy, I'll have to get them...my bad!

Drop is single coil cut in front with 2.5" CPP spindles. Rear is 3" springs with 1" block (actually 2x .5" aluminum plates each side).

That stance couldn't be more perfect. Looks real nice.

Almost makes me wanna get a 2 wheel drive.

Your truck looks great. Just curious why you went with 3" coil and 1" block as opposed to 4" spring?. I want my stance to look like yours.

easy answer

Why the 3" coils? Cuz I won the EIBACHs on ebay, and 4" Eibachs were not an option! They do sell them though, and I may get them one day. I had it down lower with 2" of drop in the rear with the blocks, even did 1.5" for a while...but I like the ride quality where it is now.

As for the stance, well... that credit goes to Rdrdave who's forward lean I was trying to copy after I saw this picture of his truck!
