Is there such thing as too low?

[Rocket Man]

Can’t really tell but I switched from a 295/45/22 in the front to a 255/45/22, which is the oem Rolls Royce Cullinan size. Scored some Continental Contisportcontact oem take-off’s for $150 each on eBay. Finally no more rubbing on the firewall or sway bar or washer fluid bottle or frame or fender or anything else you could imagine lol I can go full lock for the first time in almost 2 years

That’s awesome, it’s looking great too. Tires can make a big difference- on my bagged & bodied Silverado I switched to a narrower tire which meant it was stretched onto the wheel so the shoulder of the tire was more rounded and the sidewall angles inward resulting in more fender to tire clearance when driving and steering aired out. It made a big difference.

Not my GMT900, but it qualifies right?

The fronts are stretched a little bit so there’s a ton of clearance. It makes driving the truck so much more enjoyable

Another limit found. 275/25/28’s don’t fit with this offset. Top of the fender lip sits on the tire but dangggg do they look good

Fender interferes just in the front, rear or both? I haven't done anything to my front fenders yet but I've rolled the rears. IIRC, I gained 1/2" clearance.

Didn’t get l to try the front yet but those should be fine because they are cut and pulled. Rear fender lip is completely cut out but it still sits right on the tire

Zero chance of tucking these wheels on the front. They also don’t clear the oem big brakes. Also remembered to get a good picture of my notch

That DOES look great, tho!!! Seems like you've reached the limit there before the next phase of modifications need to happen in order to make it work whe you would have to tub the rear for the rear to work.

Start getting too crazy, Doug, and you'll end up with a rig as nice as @Young28 had back in the earlier days of the Forum.

TOTM Winner for November is Young28!!!

Back isn’t much of an issue. It would rub on big dips but I wouldn’t have to tub it. The front on the other hand. I’d have to tub the firewall and get a set of tuck & turn control arms. Two things I’m not really interested in doing at the moment

I definitely agree

Had to help a guy at the gas station push his 1500 over a hump in the lot at the gas station last month. He lost his pump in full looowww after filling up. The girls were cracking up watching him burn up the tires while he seemed to float like Luke Skywalker’s speeder.

They don’t get it. Whatcha gonna do?


edit .. The girls took a pic of it. Now I just have to get them to go for a spin in one so they're in tune to the looowwww

Pretty sure he's got a build thread on here. Brings back memories of a time when there were actual builds on TYF that got us excited about these rigs. Those were good days on the ol' forum. Was almost like a friendly competition around the forum
