Pic of the stance after the new wheels/tires and ECE 3.5/5 drop. Super happy with the results.

Every mod you have done,... has improved your truck.
You should be proud of your hard work!

Nice combo. The tire height and drop are a perfect match.

I have to say that it does look pretty slick! Much better than the "slicer dicers"...

Alvin · 01-21-2011, 12:24 PM

Looks great!

tubbedII · 01-21-2011, 01:42 PM

I've been meaning to ask...are your vent windows tinted?

72SWBChevy · 01-21-2011, 02:13 PM

Looks great!! What wheel/tire combo you running? Size,BS,etc.

TrixR4Kids · 01-21-2011, 02:18 PM

Anyway you could give me a measurement from the bottom of the front wheel lip to the ground?

That drop might be all I need, I really don't want to swap my long tubes for shorties or buy another set that tuck.

Thanks Gentlemen. Very pleased with the outcome so far. Thanks for all the advice!

Vent windows are tinted.
Wheels are Summit Legend 5 Gunmetal
Front: 18x8.5 w/6" BS and Nitto 555 extreme ZR 245/45R18
Back: 18x9.5 w/ 6.75" BS and Nitto 555 extreme ZR 295/45R18
(BS accommodates 1.25" billet spacers due to different bolt patterns--Dana 44 rear)
Distance from ground to apex of front fender well lip=27 3/8'
" " rear fender=30 3/8"

And good riddance to the "Slicer Dicers"!
