i have a 2" rear drop and 22x9.5 with 305/45/22 and i rub when i have the wheel all the way turned and when i hit a nice sized dip in the road. if your doing a 2/4 i bet you would rub with 305/40/22's when you hit big bounces.

Brian is actually in Arkansas but he ships VERY quickly. Tell him Russell sent you. If he doesnt answer your email quickly, I also have his phone number. Let me know.

As for you wanting to go a bit lower and notch the frame, dont bother. I already tried for a 4/6" and you will have a lil problem with the driveshaft rubbing the gas tank crossmember. 4" is as low as you can go in the rear without problems unless you find a way to relocate the crossmember. If you do, by all means let me know how.

Nichoms: Thanks for the info man. Im thinking i will probably run a 295/40 or something close to that size just to have the little extra clearance.
Thanks for all the help guys!!! I appreciate it!!

Yeah you can keep the stock shocks. Actually you wont ever have to replace the ones on the front because the travel distance stays the same-the hub just moves up 2". As for the rear, it will be fine for a while. When you do swap the rears I recommend Belltech's Nitro Active shocks. Brian also gets them too.

Alrighty, i will check into that as well. I was told the doetch techs and the edelbrocks were the best ones to run. Ive also heard good things about the belltechs too though.

these are the only ones i could ,find the backspacing im unsure on they dont have a website anymore because the rim company went out of business. i also have the whole suspension set up(sway bars beltech niitro active, ) im thinking of dropping it down a bit more in the rear because after installing the 6* shims it almos tlooks like it raised the rear a little. im on the first hol ein the rear shackle so im going to drop it to the lower hole and see how it looks after that!!

Damn man! Your truck is clean!! I cant wait to get the RT-S wheels! The black on black with the polished lip looks sick!! I also like the smoked taillights and the hood and all that other good stuff. Sweet ride man!
