Pepehn, sorry to get off topic but do you know the height of your truck when it was lifted? I'm doing the same size tires as you had and right now with the stock tires on it the front fenders are 29 1/2"(thats from the ground to the bottom of the fender arch). I need to know if the tires will fit before I buy new wheels or I buy those lifted torsions. Any help would be great, thanks.

Just notch it and roll it until you bag it!! Im mono leafed and thats what Im thinking about doing. my buddy took 4" pipe cut it in have and notched his frame with it just so he could have more travel in the rear until he bagged it.

not a big deal buddy. I just ran outside and checked, im about 31" in the front and 31%1/4" in the bacj

i think what im going to do is put my 4in blocks in (when they get here) and see how it sits, if its not low enough ill notch it and take out some leafs.

im not sure if ill go the bagging route, but the truck will be in north bay for the winter getting the body redone in winter if all goes well. Thinkin a nice sunset orange perhaps..or velocity red..

Damn i really like that look with the 215 65s. I was just kind of thinking about this the other day actually, I think i want a rake..Not extreme, just for nice daily driving.

Do you think i could get away with having a 3" block, 225 70s in the rear, and a conservative (about 1-1.5") drop in the front with a 195 45?

I wonder how it would look?

Sorry..forgot to mention i sold my Denalis. The above is in regards to 15" pathfinder rims lol.

A 70 sounds large, and the 45 sounds really small lol. If you want decent rake, I suggest just using 215/65's like I have in my pic. They're easy and cheap to find. If you're not looking to be slammed, I wouldn't go with anything smaller than a 60 in the front, and with that maybe the 70 wouldn't look bad.

I'm on 195/50's in the front now, and 215/50's in the rear...but slammed

Sorry, beeen out of town for the week, so I haven't ben on to reply.
