How Low Is Low Enough On 22's
I Have A 2004 Gmc Rcsb That I Have Put 285/35/22 Front And Rear On And Am In The Process Of Lowering It I Am Doing Mcgaughy's Spindles And Bell Tech Shackles And Hangers My Question Is Can I Pull Overload Leaf To Lower Back Approx .75 And Cut .5 Of A Coil In The Front To Get .75 To A 1 In The Front Totaling 2.75 To 3 In Front And 4.75 In Rear . I Want The Back To Set Up A Little. I Also Really Don't Want It To Rub At All Or Very Very Little If Possible Anybody Running Anything Similar Maybe 275/45/20 If You Have Pics Please Show Them Thanks Also Hows Ride Quality.

I have the exact same tire size and have a 2/4 drop with no rubbing at all. Here is a pic of mine https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208616

I Am Not Real Happy With Ride Right Now I Lowered Back With Part Of The Bell Tech Kit ( Shackle) And Put Wheels On The Same Day (day After I Pick Up The Truck In Arkansas) I Have Not Put Shocks On Yet And Going Done The Highway The Back End Of The Truck Shakes Alot. But On Perfectly Smooth Surface It Is Allright. Any Ideas Thanks Mike

remember, if you are going with anything over a 4" rear drop you are going to have to run a notch as well, otherwise you are contantly going to be hittin the bump stops, and that is going to be REALLY annoying.

I would do a 2/4 drop with 22s. I've seen it before and to me it looks like the perfect stance. Unless you want that low rider look, slam it on the ground. Some people like "laying frame" but that's just not me

I have a 4-link rear suspension out back and i'll challenge anybody's truck as far as ride quality goes It is better than it was even at stock, and that is saying a lot considering the amount of rear suspension travel I am capable of.
