Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
The truck originally had 18x8" w/5.25"BS TT2's on the front & they would buzz the arm so I trimmed it back. When I changed up the look, nothing else special was required.

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
Thanks! I lowered mine, took of the rallies in the process and sold them and bought 20". Rode like crap so I sold those and are going back to the 15 inch rallies. Heard they might rub on the control arms so wanted to see if there was much I had to do to remedy that issue

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
BLP my 86 has 1.25 coils cut and a leaf removed currently. I want to do a 2.5 inch spindle and either a flip kit or shackle/ hanger drop. I posted a picture some time ago in here i believe. I need to take a current one to update
