I think he had some personal reasons for why he is not on the forum as regularly, I believe you can still text him though.

Thanks for the heads up, i think it may also be because he sold the truck also i tried to contact him through facebook but no luck..

I'd try PM'ing meangreen03, i think he has a 3/5 or lower w/ shorter body mounts and he's on a pretty good sized wheel/tire combo as well.

Thanks man you have a really nice truck.. I guess the ideal stance im trying to achieve would just be an inch And a half of gap all the way around but im not sure if a 3/5 drop alone would do that for me ..?

With the pictures posted you should be fine. You might have to do some extra trimming on the plastic wheel liners, or just take them out. Your wheels look to stick out from the body so it might have a higher chance of rubbing on the fenders but your overall diameter shouldn't be an issue. Thehoe92 pretty much has the same suspension drop as carcrz but with the additional body drop and a very heavy box/subs in the back.

Thanks for the info i did notice that my wheels fo stick out a tiny bit aswell that was my biggest concern was rubbing on the actaull fenders any way to minimize this a bit more i was thinking helper bags and an adjustable panhard so it wont so hard just on one side? Maybe even get the back of the rims shaved down just a hair?

You're welcome! Lowering just 1 inch shouldn't be an issues. If it is I would try to get some new rims (trade or sell). Helper bags will help. An adjustable panhard isn't necessary unless your rearend is that far off. Mine stayed pretty much centered with the stock panhard. I wouldn't get the rims shaved as that will effect the structural integrity, unless it is a VERY minimal amount. My rims are 9.5" wide with a +35mm offset and they tuck. Your system in the back won't make a diffence in height as it sits, it will only effect the downward momentum of the body on bumps.
