BumpinSS Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I was wondering...who has the lowest AWD and what you have done. I'v seen some good drops on the AWD SS's but I don't think I'v seen anyone dropped enough to tuck their wheels like I'm wanting to to. I hate my wheel gap and not sure what way to go is the reason I'm still on stock suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BumpinSS Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'd gladly bag it, but I have read that I can't slam it without sacrificing my AWD...which I cannot justify. There is nothing more fun than abusing the AWD in the rain and snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaotik1 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) My wheels are tucked. I am awd, and have no issues with binding. I think I'm 28" to the fender in the front and 30" in the rear. If I remember correctly.

kaotik1 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Belltech knuckles, with a few turns out on the torsion up front, and the belltech leaf packs out back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 after seeing kaotik's truck i think i may have to go lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp ss Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 hey chase its harder for us to go lower and still be drivable because of the 2 extra inches of wheel i want mine lower but i need it very drivable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 My wheels are tucked. I am awd, and have no issues with binding. I think I'm 28" to the fender in the front and 30" in the rear. If I remember correctly. I believe the reason why you look lower is because of your stock wheels and tires. Since there is more sidewall, it appears to tuck, but if you were to throw on some 35 or 40 series tires, it may not look that low and there would be more gap between the tire and fender. Just my opinion of course. I also have the McGaughy's deluxe 2/4 drop kit with a few turns of the torsions. The rear sits a little higher because of the helper bags I have back there but, I like it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumpinSS Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Damn that looks good. I like those wheels too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hell, why not... lowered with McGaughy's Deluxe kit + 1" drop spindles, then cut and rewelded the rear axle mounts - total drop = 2.75/3.75; the tires are also 2.25" shorter than stock, there would be no way I could fit a 32.5" tire in the front without significant rubbing.
