I love my Caracas. I've rolled several types including the u2-55s and they were the most inferior in quality. Other that the Caracas, the DUB Big Homies were my favorites..

A 3/5 drop with 26's is a lot of drop for a 33" tire. Your best bet is still a 2/3. If you dont like the wheels, try selling them and finding ones you like better, but dont go to 28's. Also, if you can find a lipless 26' they tend to look much larger than wheels with a lip.

im runnin a 3/5 on my style truck with a 32.8" tire...a 3/5 on the newer style will be perfectly fine..

But will a 3-5 drop work with 26's? does anyone have any pics of this set up?

A 3/5 can be accomplished with 26's but will take some work. What size tires will you be getting? My drop in the sig pic below was a 2.5/4

Welcome to the forum, BTW! :cheers:

Hey iwaslowr, I love the way your truck looks, I actually looked through all your pictures a few days ago and seen your videos on youtube a long time ago before it was lowered. I plan on getting a 295/30/26 tire but I'm not sure what offset I need/or is available with the U2 55's. I also planned on either a full air ride suspension or the lowering kit from belltech that allows a lot of adjustability from 2-4 front 4-6 rear, or somewhere around those dimensions? I cant remember the exact numbers....

ok if you plan to run bags i woulndnt recomend it unless you are ready to trim the front firewall and get a adjustable rear pan hard bar to center the diferential. if you dont do those things you will actually have to ride higher then you would with a static drop.
