I have been having some clearance issues recently on my 2000 Chevy Silverado ext cab. If I'm in my truck alone, it will ride fine, but if i have a few more bodies in it, the tires will rub if i go into a drive way, or dips on the freeway or railroad tracks.

My suspension setup as of now is Hotchkis lowering springs and leafs. 2/4 drop. Then I have 20" wheels with 275 55 R 20 tires, which is where I think I went wrong for clearance issues. Besides getting new tires, what others alternatives do I have to get the front suspension a bit stiffer with more clearance?

and when I get new tires, which size should I got with? 45 or 50?

its those monster tires man. go with a 45 series and you'll be much happier.

Yea, made the wrong decision, and really don't want to change the tires already. so I think ill first only change the fronts, then the rears so I don't drain my wallet all at once! The fronts are pretty chewed up from the grinding on the wheel wells anyways...

this reminds me of how much i love my torsion bar setup. i think u got the right idea....change the fronts and save some cash.

and probably sell your old ones for something.

It says the posting has been deleted, but the tire place I bought my tires at has always given me a very fair price!

And as far as the current fronts, I think they are way to cut and scarred to resell...

Thank you for the help, I just finished changing my brakes today and will probably get new fronts tomorrow and now have to quiver every time I hear that terrible sound of tire scraping!
