Re: lowering advice

Maybe go into the suspension section of the forum and start digging for posts on the subject?

Re: lowering advice

When you are considering lowering a truck it's not the wheel diameter that really matters, it's the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo that's important.

Re: lowering advice

I would downsize the rims to 20's. I had 22's on mine but didn't like the stance of the truck. A lot of that was from not having enough money to do it properly. My trucks stance is just right now. I have 20's with a 5 1/2 in the front and a 7 inch drop in the rear. Here are a few pictures. Again just my opinion. Hope you figure it out and good luck.
