Lightning's ground clearance
 
I got some 22inch wheels on my truck, and they have lifted the truck WAY higher than what I was expecting. If you browse through my gallery, you can see that I am way taller than any Lightning should be. The picture in the gallery is with 305/45s all the way around. I recently got 265/35s put in the front, and 305/40s in the rear, to give me more room to drop the truck.

My question though, is what the normal ground clearance for a stock Lightning? Thats all I'm really going for, since I care about clearing curbs and all. Thanks in advance.

nice rims, what are they?

Thanks BlackBetty, the weels are 22" Giovanna Anzios. But Giovanna passed the design over to one of it's smaller companies, Double G (they own Gianelle and GFG, and G-Racing wheels, as well). I believe the model is 405. Just google Double G and you can find them. I bet there are still some discontinued Giovanna Anzios floating around as well.

My L is lowered so can't get the stock height but based on your wheel/tire sizes the stock diameter is 29.5". The 265's you have calculate to a 29.3" and the 305's are 31.6". The increased height should be 0.9"/2 = 0.45" for the 265 and 3.2"/2 = 1.6" for the 3.05's. Looks like a 1" and 2" drop should get you back to stock.
