how low should i go?
Hey whats up? Have a question, I am working on my 72 ' Cheyanne Super. I plan to lower it, do you think a 4-5 '' drop would work? I have BF Goodwrench Radial TA's with 15'' wheels wrapped in 255's in the front and 275's in the rear. Thanks

I would lift it 4 inches all around..... You don't need to drop it buddy... Oh and put those 235/70/15's back on it they looked a lot better than the bfg's. lol
Btw this is my buddy...... Give him a good welcome.

yeah, lift it & bolt some Baja Claws under that bad boy
 4-5" sounds like a good one to me! I'm also running 255/70/15 BFG Radial TA's, but on all fours. I love em! After you get your truck dropped, get some pics posted on here... I'm kicking the idea around of dropping mine.

And for a different opinion, I say put it on the ground! I seem to be the minority, though...

Yes, that will work fine. That is how I have mine, BFG 255/60/15 up front with a 15X8 rim with 4in back spacing and in the rear 275/60/15 with a 15X8 rim with 4in back spacing as well and ECE 4/6 drop. Looks good, no rubbing.
