I am going to try and squeeze them on a 9.5 inch wheel. It is a little less than the sugested width, but after wedging 315 nitto drag radials on stock 17 inch camaro wheels with good results, I am not concerned.
I am not sure on the total drop....probably 5 inches with the DJM control arms. It was originally a z71 off road package so it must be a good 5 inches lower at that height?
If you are really curious I can measure my stock z71 height for comparison or give you a ground to lip measurement.

LOL, the going straight part is what scares me!! I have wheeld 700 plus RWHP vettes and f-fodies, but I am actually kinda twitched out at the prospect of this thing pulling full power from 3,000 RPM. I guess I will head out to the lake road and wear my hockey equipment for the first couple runs. LOL

They are KMC zippers. I have never lifted a rim that heavy in my life...I really like the look of them, but they are not going to be in the next pictures I imagine. They are just way too heavy and will cost me 3 or 4 tenths due to their weight alone, plus they will not handle the width of the 305 drag radials.... Rest in piece Zippers, I just have to find a rim that will look even better, and suit my needs.
2 cases of our finest Canadian beer shipping included to the person who finds the sexiest rims in a 20x 10 to 20x 11 for this truck, I am having a hard time finding the right look.
Cheers,
Martin
