Well I have decided i'm not goin to lift my truck and go with more of a "drag race" setup. A Suncoast is coming soon, leveling kit coming off and 33's are history soon. Would like to see what some of you guys are running in the tire/wheels and what stance your truck has. This is not my daily driver but it is driven alot, so i'm wanting a setup that rides good and good CV angles where I can change over in 4wd at the light if someone wants to play. Thinkin about selling the 20's and maybe going with some kind of 18's. Thanks

I'm pretty well curious myself. Thought about 20's and 285's. Read up about the 3/5 lowering kit from DJM and running Cal trac traction bars on the rear. Ive heard on some trucks you'll have to change the angle on the driveshaft on the lowering kit. As far as the angles on the front i have no idea. The kit doesnt give it a slammed look and IMO looks pretty agressive.

if it was me i would leave the front at stock height with flat cvs and do a small drop in the back to make it level with probably some drop shackles and run traction bars

If I go back to stock height, what is a good tire size/wheel combo to go with? I'm thinking 18's on maybe 285's?

I'm wanting to do a similar stance to yours Trent can you give me a rundown of what to get and how to...and What tire/wheel setup hooks decently at the track with 18-22s? Sorry for being a pain but I ran the track a good few times and am hooked :D
