I am trying to to decide what rims and tire sizes to go with on my LWB. I have a 2.5 drop in the front and a 4" in the rear with 265-60-15 on 15x8 rims in the front and 295-50-15 on 15x10 rims in the rear and want to go with 18" and 20" rims. Right now I am level but I would like to have a little bit of a rakeand stay flush with the fenders. Any pics or advice would be helpfull

I'm with you I'm dropping mine the same. Sure is alot of swb out there. How bout centless his looks like a lwb.

Mine is aready droped I just want to go with some bigger rims and lower pro tires. I'm just not sure about what sizes I can go with. Any Ideas. I thought about building a SWB and scrapping my LWB but I really like having the LWB and it really looks like a bulldog lowered out. I can fill it full of camping gear and still have room for my dog in the back. It is nice to fit a full size sheet of plywood in the back. I already have another bed for my truck so I plan on building the LWB.

Mine is still together right now. I have a another Cab and bed for itI would like to start a build thread soon. I think I'm going to Primer mine out and driver it. I want to start the body work on the new cab and when I finish that I plan to tear it down.
