Thinking about doing this. I have 26" u2 55's with 305-30-26's. Wondering If anyone has pics of a tahoe lowered 3/5 on 6's. And does anyone know how Steve meades tahoe is lowered?

Steve originally had the DJM setup in his tahoe for a 3/5 on the same rims and tires
that included control arms, shocks, 5" coils and a couple other hardware pieces

now he has AirRide technologies titanium shocks with the ride pro digital ride height sensors combined with the DJM upper and lower control arms and McGaughy's spindles

here was his 3/5 on 25 series tires

Like Bigblue said I do have a 3/5 on 26s, here is a pic of it below and in my sig.
If you have the same model Steve has yours will be lower with a 3/5 being that the new ones are higher up from factory.

If you run a 295/25/26 it won't rub much if any at all, run a 305/30/26 with a 3/5 on a NBS you are going to be doing a lot of cutting and malleting to stop the rubbing.
Problem is the 295/25/26 is only made by Pirelli and it will run you atlest $1400 for a set of them $$$$$

With my 3/5.5 kit on 305 35 24 there are no issues. Now seeing that your on a 305 30 26 which is about 3/4 of a inch taller there will be some rubbing but nothing major.

on 26x9.5 with 38mm offset you will be ok wont be that bad.

Depends on what you clasify as major, i'm pretty sure its gonna rub real good.
And rim width does not matter, the width of the tire is what matters because that is what is rubbing, not the rims. A 305 series tires on an 11" rim is still just as wide as a 305 series tire on a 9" rim.
Lastly a +38 offset or so will help minimize rubbing.

2-3 drop 26x10 295/30/26 tire. yes a 305 will rub like hell on a 3-5. yes you will have to cut and remove the windshield fluid resevoir. yes get the 295/25/26 pirellis. anything else you need spoon fed?

This is why u can't be helped Bc u can't read. The first two numbers in my post is 2-3. I Havnt been spoon fed bro. I had 30s on my tahoe and I didn't go around asking what all I'd have to do to make em fit. I used my brain and went to work
