Re: 6/8 drop
 

The fronts are P255/60R-15 and for the rear, 31x18.5-15 street tires, 32.0x14.0-15 and 33x16.0-15 fun tires.

The only thing I ever hit was my exhaust down pipe by the heaeders, it was stock and about 3-4 inches off the ground. It was the lowest point on my truck.

Re: 6/8 drop
 

Do you still have inner front fenders?

Re: 6/8 drop
 

No...

Re: 6/8 drop
 

6/8 here, too. The inner fenders are still in place.

Re: 6/8 drop
 

at that point the x member is 1 inch from the ground, i wouldnt be worried about the bump stops lol

mine is 5.something in the front and its already scraping the headers and control arms on big bumps... i donno how you guys do it.

how do you guys with 6-8 drops turn? doesnt the tire cram into the fender?

Re: 6/8 drop
 

Love the Slots on your truck man, great look.

I don't have any rubbing at all with my 15's or my 18/20 combo. I do scrape my a-arms on nasty roads and some exhaust scrapes from my 40 degree driveway back in WA when running the 15's. Other than that, I have some great Monroe shocks and I learned how to "read the road" at a young age...probably why it feels weird to drive a 4x4 right now and not have to dodge or travel down certain roads.

Re: 6/8 drop
 

I agree with this. I got my experience driving my daughter's then boyfriend's lowered mini truck back in the 80's. After a few really good scrapes you learn what not to do. Some places limit me, but if I can get that just right angle I can go over most obstacles.

Re: 6/8 drop
 

Thanks. I love them, too. I agree with the "reading the road" as well. You definitely learn to keep your eyes open. We are pretty lucky to have good roads around here for the most part. I have a 70 mile commute, and there are days I drive the truck to work. Haven't had any problems on the highways at all, but you ave to pay attention in teh neighborhoods the most. That's been my experience, anyhow.
x2. Do your rear tires make anything more difficult? It sure looks wicked.

Re: 6/8 drop
 

Thanks Jonboy. Most difficult thing is trying to keep the tread on them, if you know what I mean:lol:. Only thing that changes things is the spool. Other than that, the rear tires will pretty much roll over whatever the fronts will. Before the radials the bias plys were a nightmare, especially on any kind of wet surface.

Re: 6/8 drop
 

What size tires are you guys running.. so i can look up the height to see i can go lower

Re: 6/8 drop
 

I ran a 245/35/20 up front and had to remove my inner fenders.
