What wheel/tire sizes are you running? I've got the 2" drop with stock 20's and mud terrains, but I like your look.

So i had the tires rotated on the truck last week and found out I'll be needing new rubber come spring. Id like to go with aftermarket rims, but with a new project underway on the summer car its just not in the cards. So I was thinking of going with a lower profile tire on the stock 20s, plus it would drop the truck a little lower as well. So far the only answer I've recieved is a 55 series sidewall which is only half an inch from stock. Id also like to run a little bit of a wider tire in the back, but since it's 4wd that may bring some issues. Any thoughts or what are you running on your stock 20s with a lowered 4x4?

Has anyone cut their Belltech springs to get 3" in the front? I want to get the front a little lower than the rear...

Look up the definition of bump steer. I ran a 3" spring drop on my old truck and hated it,the bump steer was bad enough to take the fun out of driving it at 60+mph,as the damn thing wanted to change lanes if you hit a good sized bump or dip in the road.Anybody who tells you their truck doesn't bump steer with a 3" spring drop,either has no clue what it is,or is full of ****,lol.It's impossible for these trucks not to have bump steer issues,as the tie rods run uphill to both spindles at a pretty decent angle with a 3" spring drop,and their arc's change drastically when either side goes down or up due to a bump.Cut the springs if you want,but at least you know what you're up against,the truck won't be as nice to drive at highway speeds,especially if the road is a bit on the rougher side. As long as that doesn't bother you,you can cut them down,lots of guys have.
