ok i have plans to do some hauling w/ my 2wd short bed. i got 285/50/20s on factory ride and the only time they rub is w/ the wheel cut all the way and in reverse (go figure) now i was wondering how low can i go w/ towing still in mind? 2/2?
thanks

Tylers rogaine supply got too low!!!! :LOL: Naw Id say if its not rubbing in drive you shuld be cool. Maybe get some helper springs for towing. I would get a lower profile tire set myself
yea, i'll probly wait on the lowering after i start to need tires and get some lower profiles tires.. but would a 2/2 be about as low as i'd want? i mean everyone has different taste and the grounds the limit, but i'd like to be able to tow max load
you would like a 2/4 better. If you dont go 4 on the rear it will get the stink bug look back. I think that you should buy some 2'' rear shackles and see if you like that. I like mine with just the rear lowered. It might balance out your truck enough to stop the rubbing.
thanks man, i think thats what i'll try out first when funds come around
WTF??? What does that have to do with anything???Quote:

I say leave it the way it is if you are planning on towing to the max trailer capacity... :twocents:
The shackles will never hit the bed, they pivot front to back, not move up and down. I tow 7000 lbs with my lowered truck, no problemo.
thanks guys.
Really?? I've seen that happen in two separate, isolated instances. Weird...Quote:

What's a diea? If you don't know what your talking about, don't post. If it was just a mistake, okay. But, shackles don't pivot up and down.:flipoff: CALM DOWN!Quote:
