lowest drop with 275/60s on all 4 corners

[smith_84c10]

what the lowest drop, no airbags with 275/60s?.. pics if you guys have some

[ocbaud]

sorry for the crap pictures, but this is with 275/60/15's all around

this was with a 4/6 drop

the back was fine, but the front i had to roll the fenders on as it was taking chunks out of the tires when you hit a bump

Truck looked good back in the day too Eric!

[STOCKISH]

what are those wheels?

mines the same up front but high enough in the back to step on the tire to get things outta the back cause i'm short with stubby lil arms

I have a question. do you think i can fit a 4/6 with 275-45-R20? or would it bottom out on the fender or inner fender?

that would be an almost 30" tall tire. no way at all it would fit.


a 275 is too wide for the front of the truck when its lowered that much.

255/40/20 would be the max i would want to run up there, that would be the same height as a 275/60/15 (28" tall)

Here is my 79 on 275-60-15's on all four corners. They're mounted on 15x10's with 4in backspacing. I did a 5in flip in the back. I lowered the front by chopping a coil and a half. It works but it rides on the bumpstops. I plan on putting some dropped spindles on eventually. The most important part of fitting tires and wheels on any vehicle is backspacing. I think that I could go lower after rolling the fender lips but I have a rough driveway...

my buddy took a hunk out of some pricey tires cause of backspacing
