HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP

[Dave777]

What did you have to do with 6 inch drop in rear? Remove bump stops or c notch?

 

[TotalyHucked]

Yeah, you have to at least remove the bump stops. Some trucks can get away without a notch at 6" and some need a notch. Won't know till ya try it

5/7 drop, 10x15 wheel, 4.5 backspace, 275/60/15 tire.

The kid bought one of these with his buddy.
It has not been used just yet, but will tell you what you want to know for size and backspace.
I like visual indicators for myself and this will be great when I need to do the figuring for my own cars.

I made my own out of aluminum angle and flat bar. Came in really handy and I got my wheel/tire fit right where I wanted it.

 

[Dave777]

I really appreciate all the information. Ok, see if you think this will work. I already put 4 inch drop on rear with a bracket and shackle, if I removed the shackle and added a rear end flip, by my math, that should give me between 6 and 7 inch drop in rear. I believe the 275/60r15 tires would work then. What do you think and what would I need to do to bring front down? I have 3 inch drop spindles, I'm putting on now

Factory rear bracket and shackle should give you 6-7" drop with the flip kit. I used a 2.5" drop spindle along with a 2" drop spring in front. Turned out the aftermarket springs were weak and sacked the front end too far down. I added a 5/16" spring spacer to put the front end right and now the truck sits where I want it. If you have 3" drop spindles I would think a 1 to 1.5" drop spring will give you what you're after.

Thanks

Here she is with 4 inch drop in rear and 3 inch drop spindles in the front. I was hoping the tires would be closer to fender. The back wheels are what I'm putting on the truck, I put 275/60r15 tires on them. The front tires are what were on truck when I got it which are 235/75r15. Not sure what size tire I should use to get closer to fender. Any suggestions?

255/70R15 is gonna give you the right stance IMO

Are you wanting your tire closer to the fender in front back or both?
