Hey all.. or anyone who can help... right now on my truck i have a 2/3 drop.. coils and blocks.. i wanna go lower.. i was talking with n8 and he suggested 2 inch Aarms and 2 inch hangers.. for a total of 4/5 drop.. does this sound like a good way to go.. And what size tires would i need so it wouldnt rub on my factory 15's.. 235/50,55 series?? any help would be appreciated thanks.. and if anyone has any links to drops of this sort pricing wise that would be great..

joe, i checked out your pic from the other post. Looks real nice. I don't know if u want to go that low with the side rail-things, and u might rub in the front with the flares, but i'm not sure, i dont have flares or the rail things. but if u want to go just another inch or 2, AND U DONT WANT TO SPEND MUCH, i'd just go with 4 in. blocks and cut the coils; . (you'd also prolly have to get rid of the front & rear bumpstops, & maybe a c-notch)
***BUT, IF I HAD THE $$, GO WITH WHAY N8 SAID; it is the best way. I'm just cheap.
And as far as if your ride is sh*tty, it's all about the shocks: get the right shocks and it'll ride great. Hope this helps.
