Finally got the 2/3 drop done

[millercreek]

After putting it off for a month, my cousin and I decided to tackle the job of installing the Mcgaughy's kit. Took us about 4 hours, was our first shot at anything like this. The alignment was WAYYYY off, but luckily I only had to drive about 3 miles to get to a good shop. Anyway, these pics are all I have right now.

Getting the right size tires is the easy part. Picking the wheels is the hard part. There is only 1 or 2 sizes to choose from generally depending on wheel size. With a 24" wheel, its either 295/35 R24 or 305/35 R24 unless you want rubber bands.

for me, the hard part seems to get the right tire size. i already know what rims i want, now for the tires... i dont want them too thin or too thick. i definitely dont want "rubber bands" LOL

Those would be U2-55 24x10's with 305/35/24 Kumhos. I know it's probably been metioned before, but I get a little bit of rubbing turning corners and stuff. Does this go away after a week or two, or do I need to trim some of the plastic in the fender well?

They're 24's... and they rub a little, so if you have 26's you would probably have to do some major surgery in the fender well. I might have to trim a little bit. I will give it a week or two and if it's still rubbing, I will trim some of the plastic. Oh, and I cut my bump stops basically in half on the back, because they only had like 1/4" of clearance. The ride is a little bit more bouncy in the rear, but not that noticable. I think it sits perfect for a daily driver. I could probably still pull a small trailer with my motorcycle too if I wanted.

where about in texas are you at? seems like i might have seen your tahoe before.

 

[millercreek]

I live between Abilene and Wichita Falls. I go to the metroplex fairly often though. I don't think you would've seen me around Beaumont though. lol

295/35/24 is the best tire size toa void rubbing.
I sold some 24s with a +20mm offset and 295 tires to a guy on here and he does not rub at all, so with a +30 offset or higher you will be good to go.

I have +35mm offset wheels with 305/30/26 tires and a 3/5 drop, and it still rubs after a week of cutting, trimming, malleting, zip-tieing, molding, and just about all I can do!

Looks nice bro

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I really appreciate it. Oh, by the way, those pics are the same day we installed the kit. I'm sure it will settle a bit.
