I was at 32.5" F/34" R w/ a 275/45/20 tire. Most guys are around 33"F/34"R when all is said and done on a 2/3-4 and OE size tires.

You "might" sit up a little higher, my concern would be rubbing on big dips. I think my wheels are a +30mm offset but you might be able to get away with your offset.

beautiful drop...just doesn't look very comfy ride wise

Actually the ride is very good considering. If it had better shocks on the back it would ride just like stock. Right now the Belltech Nitro shocks on the back are just not doing well. I only notice it over broken pavement when it rattles the crap out of everything lol...

Do eet!!

Bilstein P/N - 24-143806 = Lots of win

Looks like a decent option at 69.99/each. I might consider an adjustable shock too, like a Rancho maybe? Would love the ability to dial in the ride. I've heard of guys running adjustable QA1's front/rear, but those are fairly high dollar for a daily driver IMO.

I'm running the Bilsteins I recommended for your on my truck and I love them. I really looked at some King shocks but those were also pretty pricey for a DD.

I hope I'm not intruding in this thread by asking this question, but compared to the Street Performance Shocks would you say the Bilsteins are much better?

Can you provide a part number?
