Lowering on 22s..??
So i figured since i have a 2wd theres no point in trying to lift it so i guess ill just put 22s all the way around & lower it. Does anybody have pics of one lowered?? Its my daily driver so i need something that will still ride good, i was thinking maybe a 2/4 or a 3/5???

Re: Lowering on 22s..??
I ran 20's on my 68 LWB truck for 2 years. Front suspension is 3.5 total drop (2.5 drop spindle and 1 inch drop coil) and rear was 4" lowering springs. 20's on all four corners with 245/40/20 front and 275/45/20 rear. The ride was nice when cruising on a smooth road without any potholes but terrible if road conditions are not ideal, you give up a lot of tire sidewall when running big rims especially if you decide to go with 22's. In my opinion, if this is going to be your daily driver and you want big rims, try to setup your truck so that your drop still allows for some decent suspension travel and can run some tires that still have some decent sidewall on them so you do not beat up your rims and yourself when driving it. I'm sure others will chime in about their experiences with running large rims/low profile tires and dropped suspension.

Re: Lowering on 22s..??
Thanks guys... The ride is a little stiff, but I'm used to it. Yeah if your roads are really crappy you will not enjoy the ride on low-pro's, you'll be dodging potholes..
