Re: ride height question

Kinda hard to tell with a night time photo, and if you'll add another 300 pounds, you never mentioned where... but to me, the front looks a little high... and/or the rear is a little low.

Re: ride height question

You can't be too low, so it's not the back. Just bring the front down a touch.

Re: ride height question

rear tires look close to the wheel just worried about going over a big enough bump if theyll rub but other than that if the 300lbs are going in the front id leave as is and see how it is with the weight in it but i think itll look fine, im running 31s not true size but thats whats on the sidewall heres a pic for refernce ive got a 350sb/th350
