Hey lownslo, how much of a drop do you have on your truck? it looks good!

A little update...
I cut the exhaust off behind the muffler since it was hitting against the axle tube when I put things in the bed or haul toys. I am wondering what I can do about getting rid of the big dumb aluminum driveshaft. I am guessing I need to go to a two piece shaft to reduce the diameter size. Any ideas? I am going to bag it soon to be able to lift it for towing as well.

sorry but tire sizing was why i stayed with 2-4 drop with only 20s. 275/45r20s fit perfect with the 2-4 drop. a 3-5 drop with 22s i believe 285/35r22 will be your best bet. definately gonna need the helper bags in the back but just slow down for speed bumps and pot holes. lmao. enjoy the good looks though.
