    can I drop it?

    Okay, I want to lower my ride if possible. I have 265/70 16s on an 8 inch rim with standard backspacing. Any thoughts on whether or not I can drop it any? I have a leveling drop in the back but I want MORE.

    I'm currently running 275/70R16 on -06 backspace wheels, and I'm dropped 3-5. No rubbing, ever.

    Next question,
    What would be the best kit to get for a moderate drop? I am a jeep guy so this is going in the wrong direction for me.

    Go with McGaphy's Good stuff. Go with spindles and a flip kit

    How tough is the install? Read where some 2/4 are absolute hell.

    Flip kit is quick to install and Spindles aren't that bad either. You can do it in the driveway. No problem.

    Any good place to pick up the kit, and will I still clear my 16s?
