Does anyone have a set of 24" wheels on a 2wd with drop shackles? I'm debating what size wheel to go with, either 22 or 24. Pictures and advice greatly appreciated!

Ok, thanks for the input and the picture, I don't think I'm going to go that low for the fact I don't want to have any issues bottoming out against the frame

22" on mine, if you go 24" you'll look ghetto, unless that's what your going for. Mine never bottoms out or scrubs.

I use my shocks as assurance that I don't hit the ground with the gas tank. They bottom out with about 1/2" clearance. The roads around here are pretty good, so I don't worry about it much.

Thanks for the advice, I'm trying to stay away from ghetto and have just a clean look and still be functional at the moment, how much drop do you have?

I have the McCaughey's drop spindles up front and their flip kit in back and I'm like 2" in front and like 3.5" in back, but yours would be springs all the way around if you have a 4th gen. I had to go to sport shocks to keep it from bottoming out. I/you also have to put spacers on the back because the spindles poke your front wheels out about 0.5".

Awesome thanks! I have a 3rd gen also and I'm currently put in hold for some time now because I just wrecked my truck this morning
