Looks great! You sure you have those front/rear measurements correct, or are they reversed?

nope thats right front is lower than rear.

THE YETI · May 12, 2011

any rubbing at full lock?

NORCAL SS · May 12, 2011

stock height yes lowered now barly any. Due to the body coming down it cleared the tire better. Also moved the fenderwell in with my 2x4 trick lol

THE YETI · May 12, 2011

wow.. good stuff. Looks very impressive Tony, good work.

What is this 2x4 trick? LOL.

I think we are going to step into a 24x8.5 and a 285/35/24 up front and the 24x10 with a 305/35/24 in back. The 295/35 on 24x10 is nice, but we want more chunk. I supposed we'll need to make some arrangements to get more clearance of the larger tire at full lock.

8.5 i wouldnt do a 285 on esp with a 35 series tires. If you had a 50 series you can get away with it. Lower profile tires need wider wheels ie a 275 60 15 you can put on a 8 inch wheel but a 275 35 18 on a 8 inch wheel wont work (horrible sidewall bludge)

also it depends on offset. usually a 24x9.5 with 38mm offset and 285 35 24 i have no problems at all.

THE YETI · May 12, 2011

hmm... interesting points. 24x9 would rock a 285 or 295? I was really happy with the "look" of the 24x10 and 305/35.

NORCAL SS · May 12, 2011

i have 22x9 with 285 35 22 and 22x10 with 305 35 22 on my wifes truck looks great.

id talk to steve at true forged wheels. He has done tons of wheels for my trailblazer/tahoe customers and looks killer.

THE YETI · May 12, 2011

22 and 24 are two different animals tho.

Hammer450R · May 12, 2011

Is Belltech a decent drop as far as ride quality goes? Whats the cost on it?

NORCAL SS · May 12, 2011

only thing different is rim diameter. 9 inch wheel tire look with a 285 35 will be teh same no matter 13 inc h wheel or 32 inch wheel (which i sell now)

true forged has 24s at great prices 3 piece also or 2 piece.

how low do you want to go on your truck?? This truck is a 2/3 and rides fine.

belltech is one of the best brands honestly.

Hammer450R · May 12, 2011

I'm thinking 2/3 with 24" rims. Sorry i've been lifted all my life and this is first drop I'm doing. So sorry for noob questions

NORCAL SS · May 12, 2011

ill pm yah.

Hammer450R · May 12, 2011

I saw a local guy and they quoted me 24" with NT420S tires. Just want a certain look and i dont want to blindly buy a size tire and rim that wont work well.

B.G. · May 12, 2011

Looks really nice man!! 22s are growing on me more and more... Are they ever gonna make them in 24"?

NORCAL SS · May 12, 2011

nope no 24s.

itsspeeds · May 13, 2011

Just got my drop today Tony! I will post picks as soon as I put it on. Not sure when that will be. Out of town fir the next 2 weekends. Hopefully my buddy can help me during the week. How much time do you think it will take. My bud is a GM cert. mechanic.

NORCAL SS · May 13, 2011
