In this picture it was stock 20s and 275/45/20.. It was a mcguaghys flip 6" .. I woulda ran shackles but I already drug and bottomed out everywhere and I also bottomed out in my notch a good bit. I should have ran shackles and helper bags to keep it from bottoming out

It's good to know that the cv joints are so forgiving on our trucks, considering that I'd like to go down another 2" all around, and also plan to go from 4wd to awd
