Djm 3/5 drop with 24's any suggestions?

Ok so im lowering my truck again!

Components i will be using are By DJM lower control arms, rear flip kit with 1"+ shackle and calmax shocks.

I am currently running 24's with a 305/35/24 series tire, i know i will have rubbing problems.

So im looking for advice as far as what tire size should i run with the drop kit i have? I dont want to go too thin of a tire as i drive my truck daily.

I want the front of my truck to be slightly lower in the front then the back. So if any body could post pics of their lowering set up with 24's i would gladely appreciate it!

Check my profile when I first got 24s I ran 295-35-24 and rubbed like crazy the same week I bought the tires and wheels I had to buy another set of tires and run a 285-30-24.

Could you post a pic of the 285/30/24 tire set up?
And what are you running as far as your front set up?

I could always use an extra pair of hands!

What do you think of combining the 3.5 DJM LCA's and 2" BT drop spindles?

so 5.5 drop on stock coil springs? That would be crazy low with all kinds of rubbing if you're still talking about 24s

i have about 300lbs on my bed worth of batteries ans amps.

and another 300-400lbs of subs and box where my back seats used to be,

thats why the rear looks lower than the front.

i have djm 2.5 LCAs and flip kit and 2''hangers on rear.
