Unfortunately, yeah. Lol. My 33s look small on the rear. I couldn't imagine anything smaller than a 32 looking right. Which limits me to a 3/5ish drop.

That'd be too ugly. So nah. My inspiration was that truck I posted a few days agi with a 3/5 and 305/50r20's. Perfect stance. Curious how that stance would look on a 4th gen.

It was said before that the 305/50/20 WILL rub for sure with a 3/5 drop. I have a 2/4(ish) drop and have rubbed all 4 corners at various times with those tires. Dropping another inch at each end and I would be rubbing ALL the time.

Then we cant help you man, we are telling you from experience what will work and be able to be driven in the real world, if you wana put a 32" tire on a 3/5 drop be my guest but dont get upset when you cant drive that thing out of your driveway.

Im not sure where you get your facts from but a 31" tire doesnt look back on a 3/5 drop, i ran it for years and it looked really good

This was my 3/5, you go ahead and add a 2" taller tire to the front of a drop like this and let me know how you do man

The front looks okay. The back is too hiked.

What about slammed1 and his 32's on a, what, 5/8 or 6/9 static?

Slammed1 had custom built suspension, had rolled/modified fenders all the way around, he modified that truck 7ways to sunday to ride low, but he also wasnt running a 305 tire

And any lower in the rear than that and you will hit the frame and axel constantly

Ive had friends bagged on a 33" tire, but they couldnt steer on the ground, anythingf is possibe with the right amount of money, but we are trying to tell you what you can achieve with your typical drop

Planning on a notch. Here's what I WANT out of the suspension and tire combo.

Largest notch without bed mods or reducing frame integrity. Lowest drop with biggest tires that have good tuck/fill and will allow me ingress and egress of steep drives at speed -say, to make a gap in traffic- without ripping off my bumper or dragging/slaping ass on pavement. And good handling/smooth ride.

Trans cross member and a different gas tank are okay. SCRB truck. Likely 4th gen.

So what am I looking at? Should I get pics of said "steep drives"?

Well for starters you need to educate yourself on tires, just because a tire is 32" doesnt mean it fits, a 305/50/20 is a wide ass tire, you would have to start with a rim that tucks way in (not flush with the fender) and then find a tire that works with the rim, this same concept is why i had to modify my new wheels for my blue truck, if you are hell bent and bount to put suxh a big tire on a lowered truck you need it to tuck in for suspension, and there is not a lot of room when you take into account the front fender liners, they dont give you much tuck room, so like most of do on 31" or larger tires you have to remove the liners or let your tires rub holes through them, being low and having good articulation is not two things that go together, and having a ****** tire and a low drop doesnt make for drive ability, so your not asking for something pratical, you already said you dont like what we say will give you the most fender fill and be able to be daily driven safely, so you have your answers here in this thread but ill tell you again, if you want a 305/50/20 then 2/4 is it and you can see that in the pix on this page, or you can do a 3/5 drop like i did and a 285/50/20 (31" tire) which you have expressed you dont like the looks of either so we really cant help you, that being said since this is all for a truck that is still in the dream state then dream big and put it on bags so you can pic your ride height and have whatever look you want when you want because static low life is not for you.

3/5 drop on a 31" tire, 285/50/20, if you want a taller tire then you will have to go skinny on the tire, my truck rode and handled like a dream and still towed perfectly, if you dont like that look then you are SOL cause this rubbed my fenders...

I'm not opposed to fender mods, either. Static low is for performance. Are bags really a "performance" suspension?

That looks good. But does a 285/50 hook 500-750hp? This is the reason I want at least a 305 on the back with 5" of sidewall.

And I wanted a square stance for the ability to rotate tires, and ease of finding/buying tires.

What's under the fender liners? Just a bare metal wheel well?

44's on 28's is for my second truck. Using a monster truck motor. :Stupid Me:

I'm serious about this build, dude. I don't want or need your sarcasm.

Low is low, its for whatever you want it to be, bags if done right are for everything, your truck is whatever you build it to be...


Ok well your 750hp motor is still a dream, and you are proving you dont know enough about this and need to educate yourself more, your askijg if a tire size can hook up, its not the size of a tire, its the compound of the rubber, if you fulfill your dream of 700+ hp and really wana race you will not be running a big rim, you will have a 17" race rim with drag radials on it, you keep going in circles, if your going to race the truck you wont be rotating tires, you wont have the same setup front and rear, but none of that is a concern untill you are in the ballpark of fulfilling your dream, you dont have the truck yet, and untill you get to owning the truck and are in your build you are wasting your breath, by the time you get to building your dream alot can change, and as far as you wanting to build a 4th gen ram now, you will have to take that to the 4th gen section, you need to focus on the truck you have now, if you want to build i lt and have questions on it we can help you but arguing with people who know about this stuff and debating with us when you have no experience wih lowered vehicles and dont ven have the vehicle you are arguing anout is doing nothing but wasting everyone's time

Behind your fender liners is your intake, your battery, your fcm, your pcm and all kinds of vital **** that needs to be addressed when you remove your liners

Yeah don’t remove your fenders. It covers your engine is dirt and mud every time you drive anywhere with alittle water. Not a good idea at all
