Ok, so its time for tires, and I keep getting envious of few people on here of how good their HOE looks lowered.

I have a raked look, want to go a little lower in the rear!

Current tire in the rear is a 305/45/22. I got some curbage damage on out outter tire from crappy shocks and heavy weight. I have since replaced the shocks. No bottoming out issues.

I have 305 width tire, I know I have to decrese, but not by too much. I need a tire to put the 500hp to ground!

Front tire 265-35-22 (Thats a little too skinny for my liking and rough for these NY rds, where both my two front rims are bent but nothing to crazy to through off the ride.

Rear tire I would like to go 40-45

BUT WHAT width?

All I have removed from the rear to lower it is the helper leaf.

Here is a pic of current stance

These are the best pics I have :(

What is the best way to lower the rear? Shackles or a Flip kit? What is the widest tire I can go with out shredding the outter edges of the tire?

LOVE to keep a 45 sidewall but smallest I am willing to go is a 40.

Please define trim!? Have any pics? Were able to keep the inner fender trim to keep out grime?

I WANT to keep the Fender Flares, which I forgot, and you currently had.

35 tire is not an option. 40 is smallest I will go.

What is overload? Did you remove your shackles or you installed lowering one?

i had drop shackles but i dont think they matter once u do a flip kit

the overload leaf the bottom fat leaf in the leaf spring pack

then if u want to go a fatter tire just do shackles and remove that lower leaf
dont do a flip kit if u want a bigger tire
and i had to cut alot like the whole inner fender got cut it looked like shit with out the flares on
