Figured I would share with the community. Picked up some 18" Titans from my work on the cheap. Lowered the truck a bit more. I've got some 215/45/18 tires fitted, but I am thinking of going a bit lower profile. Thoughts?

Ow did you lower the back

It's currently monoleaved with the overlead leaf only and 3" blocks. Planning very soon on swapping to de-arched springs and 3" blocks with a mini notch

I think the tires look good the way they are.I haven't had dearched springs before but iv heard they ride like shit.not trying to critisize I just know these trucks still ride alright with a normal monoleaf.does ur axle hit the frame?when mine was monoleafed I already had a 6 inch notch

Well the 45 series rubs just a little in the front at full lock, on the actual metal part of the inner fender, and I'd MUCH rather swap to slightly smaller tires in the front then A)raise it or B) cut it up. The axle does hit the frame going over big bumps, and I'm planning on doing a small (3"-4") notch that will still fit under the stock bed floor. I'm more concerned about the safety of running just a monoleaf with the overload spring, and still being able to haul my motorcycle in the back than ride comfort. Right now the monoleaf is bent out straight, and most of the suspension flex is coming from my overload leaf. I used to have an old VW beetle years ago that saw static dropped and the front frame sat less than 1/2" off the ground, and it rode like ASS haha

Oh I figured rims that big would rub either way.if that's all it takes not to rub that'd be the way to go.is there an aftermarket lowering leaf set available for a b?if there is that would probobly support more weight but u might need a 4 inch block to get it as low as it is now

Yeah belltech makes 3" lowering leaves for it, but I would probably get them slightly de-arched and still run 3" blocks
