I went from the factory 5 spoke LTZ 20's (like you) to the KMC slide 24's. A substantial loss in ride quality made me want something a little smaller. Then a friend of mind got the GM CK375's (the one's SoulSea has) and his ride quality was GREAT so I decided to make the switch.

Obviously many people get 24's and even 26's (and even the daring 28's and 30's) but they do a LOT to make sure things ride the way it was intended to ride. Cutting things, getting other 'drop' components like helper bags, yada yada. Not doing all that. I will in the near future be purchasing a rear 2" drop to level my vehicle. That's IT. Just all personal preference in the long run though...

So going to 24's really did change the ride of the truck? Not sure if im able to part with that lol

Man, i dont see how you guys think these trucks ride that good.... My hyhoe with 18s on it rides the poo to me. Lowered it 2/4 and it rides actually better than it did stock. Its a freaking boat of a vehicle, why does everyone think it should ride like a towncar?!

Who said our trucks ride "that good"? Maybe if they road that good i wouldnt mind losing some to big rims. Thanks for that great informative post!

well perhaps not a town car but appropriate for its size would be how i describe it. not everyone wants a stiff ride. lots of us carry our kids in the car and a nice soft ride is exactly what we want.


back up a few pics, the 22s look so much better than the 24s. the 24s get over into doper terriorty where the 22s look just classy.

Sorry I don't have a 22"/Dropped combo, but there's a thread on that around here somewhere.

Hope that helps.

I sense a level of sarcasm coming from your end, but I really was trying to give you an honest opinion. If your worried how your ride is going to feel after big wheels and lowering it, KEEP IT STOCK.. pretty simple
