I was at 32.5" F/34" R w/ a 275/45/20 tire. Most guys are around 33"F/34"R when all is said and done on a 2/3-4 and OE size tires.

I'm running a 275/60R20 with a +18 offset

You "might" sit up a little higher, my concern would be rubbing on big dips. I think my wheels are a +30mm offset but you might be able to get away with your offset.

i guess ill find out in an hr or so when i go snag them and install them. I guess if it doesnt work the way i want it to ill get the kit the Norcal sells... His 3/5 kit

beautiful drop...just doesn't look very comfy ride wise

Actually the ride is very good considering. If it had better shocks on the back it would ride just like stock. Right now the Belltech Nitro shocks on the back are just not doing well. I only notice it over broken pavement when it rattles the crap out of everything lol...

Do eet!!

Bilstein P/N - 24-143806 = Lots of win

Looks like a decent option at 69.99/each. I might consider an adjustable shock too, like a Rancho maybe? Would love the ability to dial in the ride. I've heard of guys running adjustable QA1's front/rear, but those are fairly high dollar for a daily driver IMO.

What are your measurements at the corners?

Sorry for the late repy.The front is sitting at exactly 32 1/4" the rear is sitting at 33 1/4"

I'm running the Bilsteins I recommended for your on my truck and I love them. I really looked at some King shocks but those were also pretty pricey for a DD.

I hope I'm not intruding in this thread by asking this question, but compared to the Street Performance Shocks would you say the Bilsteins are much better?

Can you provide a part number?

I like them. Imo the BT SPs are a tad on the soft side. They're a great shock, but not firm enough for me. The Bilsteins are a nice, firm shock that hasn't given me any problems.

Thanks man. Not too shabby for having 223,000+ miles on her...

Lately I've been having wicked thoughts of a T76 and 4L80e....

M Hankel,
Hey what size tires are you running on your 22's I really like the way it sits. I have been on the fence as to wether just leave it alone or lower it. I am on the market for some 22's since I need new tires anyways.

I've got 305/40/22 on the front and 305/45/22 on the back.

Thanks mike,
I was checking out your ride again today and I am going to go ahead and pull the trigger thanks for the info. do you have any issues with your tires rubbing or coming close?

The fronts dont rub much except on tight turns. The back 45 series rubbed a bit on the plastic liner. I used a pneaumatic air saw to cut out the areas it rubbed and its all quiet now. Could easily drop another inch without rubbing. I have about 5 speed jumps leaving the subdivision I live in and they dont rub on those at 15 mph.
