Droped front and rear.

Re: Droped front and rear.

Interested as well. I have the parts sitting ready to install for the same drop on a long bed and thinking of something along the same size tires and rims. I have my frame stripped and about to blast and paint before rebuilding, so I am very interested in seeing pics of stance.

Re: Droped front and rear.

Got my tires today but still wating for the rims. I figured I'd order the tires to have them ready. I will post pics of before 15x8 235/70/15 and the new 275/50/17s . I can send pics now of what I have but I think I'll wait.

Whoo hoo, it took me a while to figure how to get the pics on. You can see the differance in the drop. total in the rear was 2" and 2 1/12 in the front.
