2 1/2" in the front, max. I have a 3 1/2" drop in the front with the same tires and I rub on every little bump.

My rear is down 5" and they are absolutley no problems.

cutting into anything such as things for clearance issues? in that case you can lay frame on 18's w/ 35 series tires w/o cutting any fender wells & using a bolt in notch in the rear.

otherwiese you can go with a beltech mono leaf & 2" drop spindle w/o notching the frame probably, that would bring it pretty low in the back.

but w/ those big fenderwells, they never look too low.

here's mine.

p.s. don't listen to sales people, they almost never know what they're talking about. i've had many people tell me that i couldn't lay frame on 20's... what a joke.

you can make anything work that you want, if you have the passion and willing to experiment.

well i ended up dropping it 2 in front with a-arms and 3 in the back with blocks and i rub quite a bit when i turn fast other than that it looks great and rides great. im probably going to lift the back up a half inch because it still sits alittle lower in the back than the front. thanks for the help though id like to notch the frame out later on but i just wanted to try alittle something for now
