Re: need advice on 20" tires

Nate your truck looks awesome. I took the pic after I backed out of the garage. Drove it a little and te front came down a little more. I'll get the truck aligned next week after I get the right spacers for the rear.

Re: need advice on 20" tires

I was able to install the 2" adapters to properly align the back wheels. I'm getting ready to replace all ball joints and swamp the front 1.5" drop coil springs for 2" coils from ECE and get an alignment. Should close the gap and give a slight rake. The first pic is without spacers in the rear and the second is with (2").

Re: need advice on 20" tires

Looks good Bro! I have some BOSS wheels on order, I cant wait to get them. 20x10 rears and 18x8 fronts. Going with 305/50/20 in back and prolly some 255ish/50/18's up front. Once I get the wheels on I will figure out what drop to go with......

Re: need advice on 20" tires

Finally completed the lowering of the truck to match the tire/rim combo. I ended up with a 4.5" front drop with 7" rear having 2" spacers in the rear only. 20x8.5 with 5.5" BS with 275/45/20 Falkens

Took the pic last night. Unfortunately the truck has a slight lean towards the pass. side of about 1/2". Hopefully it will go away after everything settles. Still need alignment so that may correct issue aswell.
