Hah.... Having your own business helps in writing off good stuff.... like insurance + car payments.... but.... my money tree has already had all its leaves taken. Those rims are just a picture.... and will be a picture for another year before I get them!

What happened to your 02 True Blue Lightning?Did it have 20" Foose Spanks on it? I could never go that low where I live either. I think our trucks only look good lowered if they have aftermarket rims on them. So once you get some rims, I think it will look alote better.

That looks great! I'm seriously considering going with the WC 4/6 kit and seeing yours makes me want it more How is the ride compared to stock?

Thanks

The ride in the front is great, but right now the rear bumpstops bottom on the axle, so it rides like crap. Once I get the c-notches installed, it should ride great.

Ill have a 4/6 drop without a flip kit in the rear... once i put on my lower control arms, ill be 2inches lower to the ground in the front.. 2 leafs removed in the rear and 3 inch shackled put you right around 6 inches...(or close to it) doetsch tech shocks, and hellwig sways.... ill get some pics up at the end of the week. i was thinking 22s but from what i hear theres a good possibility they will rub.,.

285/35/22 Tires are 29.9" tall and 295/45/18 are 28.5" tall. Thats a radius of .7" taller. I dont think that I should have any problems with rubbing. If anything, I can go to a 295/30/22 tire which is 29" tall, which I know for sure I won't have any problems with rubbing.

Yep, I agree. Looks pretty good though. I'm not too fond of the really low look on the L's. For some reason it doesn't look quite right. Well, with those rims it will look a ton better IMO

Looks very good bro, perfect for the stock 18's but if you went to a 22 with that drop I dont think it would look that good IMO...I like a little gap between the wheel and fender..just a little not all tucked in the wheel well.

The front has about a 1.5" gap, and the rear in that pic had about a 1" gap, but I removed the hitch, spare, spare crank, and it went up about .5". Im also planning to add a Sir Michaels rollpan, so that should raise it another 1/4-1/2". The 22" tire I plan on going with is only 1.4" taller, so it should fill the gap about .7". I should be fine.
