Help pick drop, 2/4" drop 275/45/22
Just got the new set of wheels for my 2006 ECSB Silverado. They are Eagle 026's 275/45/22's. I had planned to do a 2/4 spindle drop. But I tow a fairly good amount with a fairly light car hauler and 3,500lb car. I am a little worried about towing being that low. I had a 2004 RST and I towed all the time with the same trailer and car with no issues but that was with only a 1.3/3 275/45/20 tire. Just hoping someone can chime in to tell me if I would be better off with a 1/3 drop becuase I will tow and the 275/45/22 tire size. Thanks for the help. Also I would like to keep the rake look the RST's have.

Ya if you can tow with a 265/40/22 then I will never be able to with a 275/45/22. On my regnecy with a 1.3 3 drop, it has gf 1.3 spings in the front. It had really bad bump steer, is that normal for spring drops in these trucks. I never had any bumperster issues in spindle drop trucks before.

The only kit I am seeing for around the correct lowering height is the eibach spring kit for $350 from summit. It comes with 1.5" coil for front and 2.8" leaf for the rear. Are there any better options.
