I hear ya, but thats only 3/4" wider which is 3/8 to the outside. I still think he can do it as long as he doesnt get the MCG coil springs and depending on his offset which would need to be 35mm or greater.

To play it safe do a 3/6 and if you want you can allways add the belltech adj struts like I did for another inch if tires allow.

I trimmed my lower fenderwells like the 4x4 guys do so I have all kinda room on mine. My goal was to fill the wheel wells up.

Well the wheels are 24 x 10 with a plus 30mm offset. And i planned on getting the adjustable struts with spindles and a adjustable hanger flip in the back so i can have between a 2 and 4" in the front and between a 4 to 6" in the back with stock shackle.

If jb can get away with a 31.9" tire on a 5" drop then who's to say i cant do a 4" drop with a 32.13" tire? I dont mind cutting the plastic fender wells either...

Perfect...if you get the kit you descibed you should have no problems since you can go up or down as you desire.

Are you gonna do the drop yourself?

Yes sir. You got that part number for the belltech struts? And the cheapest place to buy them? Also the rear kit by itself?
