I think I've done it...smoothest riding Dropped Tahoe

[BogeyBoy82]

So with the 2/3 I got I'm thinking 305/45 b/c 305/40 is smaller than what I got now and those 285s on Dylans look a tad narrow and he's got more drop than me. My only hesitation is the 305/45 is bigger than the 295/35/24 I have now by .7" overall and I already rub a little so is that .35" on each side gonna make it rub a lot? I know this is a narrower rim we're talking about too which does make a difference. a 305/45 is damn near a 33" so it would throw off the speedo as well. Part of me says ef it and do the 285/45 and be the same OD as it is now. Dammit someone help me decide. I don't wanna drop anymore so that's not an "answer" lol

what are your wheel specs now?? and tire size??

also if it rubs on the lower part of the inner fenderwell I have a trick for that so dont worry about that part.

I bought Neo's Enkei Ikei 24s. I know they're a 24x10. Not sure on the BS. I got 295/35/24s on them as well.

man 3/5.5 and it would ride better than what you have. but if you have the 295 35 24 you will be fine on the 22x9s

This is another members truck on 285/45/22s with a 22x9.5. Not sure what drop he has but he does mention belltech struts which leads me to believe its 2" in the front but it kinda looks lower than that too me

with what tire size 285/45? I really wanna go wider than that to the 305/45. I think the 305/40 is out of the picture b/c they're smaller than what I got now? So 285/45 or 305/45????????

thats they guy in russia i think it was. He got the spindles/struts.

22x9 with 305 45 22 and you drop will be fine. 3/4 i would do 305 40 22

You sure the 305/45 won't be too tall. Thats .7" more than I am now and I rub just an itsy bitsy bit. Also how bad will that throw off the speedo? It's damn near a 33" and I know the factory setup is around 31"?

Clay (owner of Suburban on Iforged's above) just emailed me back saying that his fender measurements are dead on 33". He said he has the struts mixed with spindles for 3.5" of drop total in the front.

honstly., do the front drop struts and bring back down 1 inch then 285 45 22. if you dont mind any rubbing where your at then get 305 45 22 if you want no rub at all 285 45 22.

i remember that truck from a while ago i knew it had spindles/struts.
