Could I run that kit with my stock tires? 275/65/16s

no due to running the 2 inch spindles you need min a 18 inch wheel. if you did my 3/5-6 kit then you can use the 16s. The djm 3 inch lower a arms can be used with 16 inch wheels.

Yea I was talking about the 3/6 kit. If I turn down the keys to about a 4/6 how bad will it rub with 275/65/16s?

Reason is, is that I want to do my drop kit before I get my 26s. So I will need to roll on stocks for a while with the drop.

you will want to run my rear 5-6 inch kit. I designed the springs and ride great.

oh if you do keys and spindles you will need a camber kit which is another $80 bucks.


here is my 5/6 kit on 26s

This guy also said that he had his fender wells tubbed that's why he is able to tuck on the 5/6 kit

The 275 65 16 is a shorter tire then what he has on there. On 26s the rubbage will be on big dips with 3. You can always adjust the front higher if it gets to much thats what is good with this kit.

275 65 16 is 2 inches shorter then 255 30 26. Big difference I just wanted to show him how it would look.

Id do the 3/5-6 kit and then put a 26 inch wheel on there to fill up the fenderwells more. 255 look really narrow on these trucks the 295 25 26 looks a lot better.

I did 2/3 on 26s with 305/30/26 tires and I rub a lot front and rear. I haven't modded my liners or anything yet. Waiting to move into the new house with the big garage to tackle that.
