how do you all drive around with your trucks that tuck half the wheel? how do you turn? I have a body dropped f150 with 23's and can't get it to turn without hitting fenders, I see alot of s10 and such with 22's that is tucking half the wheel, so whats the secrect? please help asap thank you.

Lift it up.

I have the same issue. I can't turn unless I am untucking the tire. I get a foot of lift, and I use it all.

The other solution is to narrow your track width a little bit, which I am doing as well.

I have a buddy who drives low on big wheels straight and has to lift it all the way up every time he turns. Only problem is that sometimes he forgets...hehe

thats what i was thinking. I have already narrowed it just to get the 10" wheel to fit when laying out. lol well thanks for the info.

I narrowed my front track width 5 inches to be able to turn while laid out. Only time I have to lift is in parking lots and drive throughs. Even then I am still tucking a couple inches of wheel and i'm able to turn lock to lock. It is by far the best thing ive ever done to my truck. Makes driving a bagged truck so much more easier and funner. I'm only running one AZ and have yet to run out of air cause I never have to lift it. I can turn at a stop sign/red light low enough that the opposite rocker will drag the ground....exactly why i'm working on front and rear sway bars right now. The work it takes to get it that way is so worth it.

Another thing that helps alot is round barring the fenders. That way if you do hit a fender your not cutting up a tire...your just rubbing a little. I've done that to several of my friends trucks and it helps alot.
