I have a belltech kit and I plan on dropping my truck this weekend. I have spindles up front and springs in back. I currently have 23s on with a 305/40/23 tire, should I be concerned about rub? Do I need to take anything else into consideration? I will post some before pics tomorrow, my goal is a new cruiser look not real low.

I have a 2/3 installed on 305/35/24s. I have a little rubbing up front on full lock turns. Not sure about 23s though. Might have to do some modding up front.

You can trim the fender wells or heat them up and mold them. I had a little trouble, but honestly i let alone and it just wore off eventually.

I appreciate it, anything I should do to make sure it doesn't squeak post drop? I had buddy that dropped an impala and it sounded horrible.

So Finally I did the drop

The first pic is a before and the second pic is an after. I did the 2/4 drop first but I didn't like the look. The 2/3 drop is what I settled on and it rides really nice. Next up is the radio.
