Re: Got my 20's on tonight

I have had some questions about the specs . I used Western Chassis 2.5 drop spindles and "sopposedly" 1 inch drop coils . The coils were cheap off Ebay . New but not 1 inch so I do not know what the exact drop is . I am guessing 4.5-5 in the front . The rear is a 5 inch drop .I used 4 inch drop leafs and one more inch with shackles . I still have one more inch in the rear I can use but 5 inches seems about the right ride height . The wheels are Intro Vistas with the suede option . 20x8.5 front with 5.75 backspace and 20x10 rear with 5.25 backspace . Tires are Toyo Proxes 2 in 255/40/20 front and 295/40/20 rear . I can still bolt on all of the original suspension if I wanted to go back staoc but I dont think that will happen since I like the look and ride that it has now . I am glad I went with the 20's . Like Ken stated above , I have been moving towards the bigger wheels in baby steps but finally got there . I should have went straight there so if you are like me and considering bigger wheels , go with the 20's .
