Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

If your on a budget just order the drop spindles for now. Cut the springs front and rear and your there. Later you can upgrade springs etc... as money permits. No extra money spent just twice the time

I can afford springs. But you can't cut the rears on these trucks, due to the pigtail ends. I've considered cutting the fronts but it has been ingrained in me not to cut springs since I was a kid. But I have heard guys on here say they cut theirs and have no problems.

Anyways I think front and rear drop springs and an adjustable panhard will be under $3-350 IIRC.

Thanks man! They are 255/45R20 front on 20x8.5 and 275/45R20 rear on 20x10's.

I thought the 45 series were going to be too tall, but I think they look sweet. Great deal on the tires as well, $499 for the full set and they ride great.

I thought about just cutting them but then it will ride like donkey crap. the ece kit comes with shock relocation and an adjustable track bar. Im sure the bbc Im putting in is going to add a lil bit of drop in the front lol
