you will see once you air out the truck or go more than 3 inch drop the axle gets sucked forward. So if you plan not going more then 3 inch drop will be fine butttttttttttt if you air it out and have the truck sit on bumpstops you will see how much the axle gets pushed to the front.

the tbss airbag set up is the best bang for the buck. You will like it. Brad posted a few months ago here he came by and he got rid of the kilderman set up and went with the tbss set up and right away like he posted ride was better. Best of all can tow also

How low can I safely go in the rear before breaking anything? I would be afraid of putting front yoke through the transmission if too low Yeah I building big audio system in the rear so was going to have to do lowering springs and bags anyways.

are you going to be laying axle on frame? Also when you do that you will see tires almost touching front of rear fenders.

due to the back being bagged when you drop it all the way you will see how much forward axle goes. If you can do it I'd get the spohn arms. I put them in my escalade since at my drop on 26s the tire were hitting front of rear fenders hard

Don't plan on it.. Would like to level out as much as possible with doing 3" in the front though. I can deal with the rear tire not being centered and I know the pin ion angle will be off though

Keep the bumpstops I send with my kit and will let you lay it out most I'd go. If you cut them down then I'd for sure get arms

And i think you gotta roll the middle of the upper fender and 2x4 the back part of the inner wheel well

and 305 35 r24 with 30mm offset is a waste of time to do 4" in the front cause it will rub everywhere? i read you can do 295 35 r24 with 4" in the front
