Re: lmc truck lowering block
too much of a lowering block can cause the suspension to be lower than the rim in the case of a flat tire. a larger diameter rim potentially won't have this issue.

Re: lmc truck lowering block
I think if you get a flat tire your trailing arm will be on the ground.

Re: lmc truck lowering block
My understanding is that a lowering block larger than 1.5" will cause the u-bolts to scrub in the case of a flat...
Maybe someone that has run blocks and 15s will chime in. |

The dif sits on top of the trailing arms and the trailing arms are pretty tall. If the blocks are too tall the bottom of the u-bolts will be below the rim in the event of a flat tire.
