Thread for Wheel, Tire, and Suspension Specs and Pics

Another forum I frequent has an awesome topic for posting what your wheel, tire, and suspension specs are. Once the thread gets going it will provide a visual database of all types of modifications for anybody wanting to lower, raise, or change their wheel/tire size.


Please list as much as possible, but don't worry if you don't have 100% of the things listed.


Year/model.
Tire size and brand.
Wheel size, backspacing, and brand.
Spindles- stock or dropped (post amount of drop)
Brakes- Drum or Disc?- Disc usually widen the track up front.
Springs- stock (HD spring option?) or dropped (post amount of drop)
Leafs or Trailing Arms?
C Notch?
Static/Bagged?
Shock brand/model.
What engine? Example- Big blocks weight more than small blocks and settle the suspension lower.
If possible, height of fenderwell center from ground front and rear.
Any other mods like Z'd frame, stepped A-arms, type of bag mounts, lowering blocks etc.
What would you would do differently next time, if anything?

Please stay on topic so this can be a user friendly resource, not who is lower or cooler or whatever.

Both a side shot and angled picture will give a better view of how your truck sits.

Finished trucks only, or atleast fully assembled on settled suspension- engine/drivetrain weight is needed to settle the suspension to a normal ride height.
