Yeah, so I was bored with how my truck sat. Yes, those are mud tires, and yes that is Linex on the rocker panels. Yes, it's 4wd, and yes, I lowered it.

Yes, it looks stupid, and no, I don't care. (A better wheel/tire combo should be on by the end of the week).

Laugh and give me all the **** you want.

The wheels and tires I have planned aren't really a "set it off" kind of setup, just a little bit less "what the f*ck was he thinking".

And this really wasn't done for looks, it's more of a handling/performance experiment. And it just looks funny, that was my initial reasoning behind doing it. It was leveled for about 2 years, I was ready for a change.

I'm trying to figure out what you did.....

How did you have it leveled in front? Cranked keys or lift keys?

What did you do to get it lower? The mud tires make it hard to figure out.

In theory, you couldve changed the green keys to purple keys and then removed the blocks in the rear for a 2wd height truck, but it still looks higher than stock 2wd's....Then again maybe not. like I said the tires make it hard to figure out

Spill the beans

Before it was just the stock keys cranked all the way up (netted about 1.5" over stock).

Purple keys in the front de-cranked a bit, shackles in the rear, and I pulled the 2" block. Fender measurements are 32 7/8" front, 34 1/4" rear. And the tires are only 265/75R16, they just look bigger because of how aggressive they are.

As for wheels and tires, it's just some stuff I had laying around the house, nothing special at all. Just less dumb.
