I have 22's with a 2/5 drop. I dont know if I could go much lower and still fit 24's. IMHO 24's look perfect on our trucks but 24" tires cost almost twice as much and my truck has a pretty harsh ride on 22's.

See how small 22's look




Black3V's truck looks very nice. Does he have a 2/4 drop?
(just searched and found out. 2" Belltech spring in the front and 3" Belltech leafs coupled with a 1" shackle. I also took out the 1" factory block)

I found this pic of Blk On 24's truck. 3/5 drop on 24's. Looks great but the tires are really close to the fenders.

Personally I like 22's, I think 24's with stock brakes is just pushin it to much, Unless u get the 15" rotors or something then its sex.

I get what your saying...yours looks good and so does black3v's but then i see this pic with 24's and its what i dont want, looks oversized and too close to the fender like you said. makes me move away from the 24's.

3/5 drop on 22's will look real nice. Plus you will save a lot of $$. Money you can put towards other mods.

Hey Lumadar.......nice truck! That looks very similar to what I'm planning for my new 2008. Can you send me more pics of your truck to idosurf@yahoo.com please? Which drop kit did you go with? Is that a lariat? How did you go about getting the fx2 grill and painted back bumper? Costs?

Thanks,
Ken
