Lee, looks great brutha cant wait for the actual rims to be on.
lowered06 the 4/6 looks killer but how do you keep it in alignment?
jsvo i know you have a 3/5 and i was wondering the same, how do you guys with more then 2 inces in front keep from eating up tires and getting alignments every 2 weeks?

Thanks screw!
Well I got it aligned this morning and got the wheels on and cleaned the truck up well. I went with the 305/40s and I'm glad I did. Here are the new pics! Let me know what you think!
I think it can come down a little more in the rear, but for now I like the stance on it! Let me know what you guys think!!
BTW no rubbing whatsoever!

well actually i have had the truck lowered for almost a year now and it is starting to make a grinding noise when i turn all the way to the left and im wondering if it might need to be re-aligned, this is my first lowered truck being that im only 17 so im not sure what it may be, help anybody?
Its really hard to say what it could be without seeing/hearing it.
Does it grind only when at full lock or throughout the full left turn?
Is it a metal to metal grind or a tire to plastic/metal grind? Can you feel it in the wheel as its doing it or only an audible?
Best thing to do is to get under the wheel well and check for rubs on the inner fender, lower and upper control arms and wheel edge.
Hopefully its just a small clearance issue that can be resolved with an alignment and not a balljoint or tie rod although i have never heard a ball joint only make noise when at full lock. A tie rod is less likely.

Definitely get it aligned! Your alignment shop will be able to determine the cause of the grinding and will probably ask a pretty penny for fixing it too if its a suspension component.

Check out that link and it will tell you how far your speedo is off at a certain speed when you go with a different size tire.
