How's your 20's ride?
Supposed to meet up with a vendor in april in piegon forge to get wheels and tires. I am having second thoughts though as im worried my choice of 18's might not fill the fenders well with the 3.5/5 drop. Hows yalls 20' ride? I see alot of you running 20x8.5 and 20x10's. I have spent hours looking at you guys truck pics. I would love to run the 18's but want it to look right. I was gonna go with 18x8 and 18x9.5. Im also not running a c-notch and really would like to stay away from it. Thanks in advance guys.

Love the ride on my 20's with a 4.5/6" drop with no c-notch.

Re: How's your 20's ride?
I've ran mine with both 15" rallies and with the 20's with a 40 series sidewall (4.5-6 drop). As expected, it rides a little better with the 15's than the 20's. But it rides fairly well either way. As for the notch, I have one and still bottom out from time to time. But you could probably get by just fine without one on a 5" drop. Whether you go with 18 or 20, your truck is going to look awesome!

Re: How's your 20's ride?
I know on my 06 Z71 there is a good bit of difference going from the factory 17" rims to the 20s with both tires being the same height.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: How's your 20's ride?
I love my 20's......the y ride like a dream. Granted I have full airbag suspension, so my ride will be a little different than you all running springs and coils.

Re: How's your 20's ride?
My 71 swb has the 4/6 kit from ECE with no notch. I have'nt driven it much but it does'nt seem like it will bottom out. Lots of room left.
