Message:
I'm getting some AIM 2" lowering blocks soon, just waiting for the SOB's to arrive... Later on, I want to get some 3" Hotchkis leafs, and put the 2" blocks on em, hopefully giving a 5" rear-drop... For the front, what's the best way to get a 4" drop? And will it rub...

I have the 15" wide rims. I need to change my tires, they are BALD!! I was thinking about using 255/55/15's.

I have a 4/5 drop on my '00 Dakota sport, and the front rubs like a mofo. I also have 17's with 255/55R17 tires, so you should have another inch or so of clearance, if that helps.

That helps!! Thanks for feedback.

I'm also considering just a 3/5 drop. The only thing I am worried about if I get front a-arms, I want the tires to sit straight, not at an angle like I always see. I want them to wear EVENLY.
