Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Sounds like my Dad is on board now .. I'm shocked I must say but I really feel like I'd be happier with the outcome if it was notched. I can get it lower with the 45's that way.

Next question .. Would 4.5/F and about 7.5/R look goofy? Remember my rear tires will be pretty tall so the truck would sit pretty much level after all is said and done. I'm not sure I want to go any lower than 4.5 up front. I'm thinking notch it, 6" Hotchkis spring and block it to the point I want it to be? 7 or 7.5 maybe? I like a slight rubber rake, ultimately I just don't want the back lower than I can get the front.

255/45/20 and 295/45/20 = 29.03" tall in the front and 30.45" tall in the back.

Chris, when you get ready man I'm serious .. I'll help you swap it over to 5 lug. It's not that big of a deal. Get you some wheels you really want and a 4/6 drop (or more..) and we'll get it done.
