Re: Got front done!!!

I just did plates and cut the cups. My front tire a 225/60-16, which is 26.63 tall. It really surprised me at how low the front went. I was worried that it wouldnt be much lower than my 3" drop coils and 3"drop spindles.LOL

Re: Got front done!!!

Of course, that is going to raise you up some as your current height is only 26"

Depends on tire hieght. I can run a 275/30 and its 26.5 or a 245/35 at 26.7 tall. I think I may go with a 255/35 at 27" tall. Wont hardly raise it up .25"

Re: Got front done!!!

I assumed you'd be running a taller tire like many of the 20 inchers i've seen on here. Shows what i get for assuming
