Anyone running 1/4 or 2/5 drop? I think this is more specifically for the quad cabs which I have as the rear is about 3 inches higher than front. If anyone is can you post up a pic and tire size, don’t know if I am able to run my stock wheels without any problem. Thanks

So I have a modified BT 2-4. With the basic 2-4 I was running the stock 275/60-20 with zero rubbing.

When I cut the springs, i measured around the front spring and the circumference was 18 inches. I knew I wanted more than 1/3 of a coil but heard of people rubbing with 1/2 so I cut in the middle, 7 1/2 inches around the coil. I cut 1 complete coil in the rear. I have gone down to a 275/55-20 since then, I never had any issues with rubbing, just wanted to sit a touch lower.

Here is current stance.20190913_111039.jpg 20190913_111010.jpg 20190913_110946.jpg 20190913_111039.jpg

Im loving this look!! Any issues with the speedometer reading wrong since you changed the tire size.

If I set cruise control at 80 on the highway, GPS bounces between 78 and 79. Tire size comparison says should be about 77.5 so reasonably close.

Here is link to a fairly accurate tire tire size calculator.
