BLOWN SS/T Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 So I'm trying to get a lowering kit pieced together. I wanna do 3" LCA for the front, and wanna do a flip for the rear with the 1" lift shackles for a 5" drop. I'm sure the notch is a must, but I'll do it. Just wondering if anyone knows if the 305/40/22 will fit with the 5" drop or even a 6". I've got hoses with an electric pump wired routed for my old airlift system. Took it out when I did 2" rear shackles. And what do you guys doing to fix the chevy right lean. Wheels are 22 ss factory reps. And pirelli zero 305/40 I don't want the front to be lower then the rear, I'd prefer the rear to sit lower. Let me know your guys thoughts.

ThatTallCanadian Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 From what I've been reading I think that tire size might rub. I'm getting a 4/6 drop shipped out to me right now (so i can't confirm with fact, just with the research i've been doing), my tire size is going to be either 285/35/r22 or 275/35/r22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Ya 285/35 is what I was telling myself I shoulda got after the 305/40s shipped. But I got a real good deal, just gonna suck if I get the flip and tires rub. I'm gonna roll the fenders too. Are you doing a belltech or djm notch? Anyone got the part number for the belltech flip and notch kit? And gonna try and get a rear sway either djm or belltech which ever I can get a better deal on Btw Nice avtar pic lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverad0 SS Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) lol why not do a 2inch hanger 3in shackles??? thats what I'm doing plus a 1inch lowering block, and no that tire won't fit 285/35r22 is your best bet, be sure your offset is correct on your rims because you will be tucking some tire Edited March 25, 2012 by Silverad0 SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could do the hangers if the 305/40s won't fit and just for giggles try a 3" shackle. I didn't wanna go hanger and shackle route cuz of the angle it'll put the leafs in, and plus I wanted the rear to sit even or lower then front.

NORCAL SS Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 if you notch it in rear 285 35 22 and you will need to trim rear fenderlips on the 22 inch reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I already have the 305/40/22s and I'm trying to do a flip with lift shackles at 5". I've been measuring and it looks like it would clear and maybe some light rubbing with the fenders when driving on big dips or with weight in the bed. But I'll have to either roll the fenders or cut. Do u know for sure if this tire won't work with a 5" drop. I'm real close to saying f#%^ it and just ordering it and trying first hand. The wheels are factory reps ss 22 10 with 30mm backspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why 285 35 22 is the biggest I do on any silerado ss that is notched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) front measure rear measure This pic shows how you will rub any lower than 4" on a 305 width tire Not trying to show off or let you down, just showing to help you make best decison Offset: +14 on a 22x9.5" rim Tires: 305/40/22 C-notched it mainly for looks and effect, the tires are gonna shred before the axle would even dip into the notch lol plus the deal my friends shop gave me I couldn't pass up. McGaughy's complete kit here for me. Belltech Street Performance shocks. Edited March 28, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
