that1dood Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) So my current set up is AWD on a 3/4 drop. I know the general consensus is that anything more than 3 inches drop in the front will cause problems because of the front axles... The idea I've been kicking around is to get a set of 17's and run a 28" or 29" tall tire on them for track use and maybe a little street time when on the spray... My thinking is this though: if I'm already pretty much at the limit of what my axles can handle, I will run into problems running a tire a couple of inches shorter than stock because I'm essentially lowering the truck another 1-2 inches depending on which tire size i end up with. am i thinking about this correctly or am i way out in left field? somebody set me straight please! thanks Also, if anybody has any pictures of their truck lowered with a 17" wheel/ 28" tire combo please post em up!

1BAD2K Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 No, a smaller tire won't change your CV angles like a drop kit will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatTallCanadian Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'm 5/6 on AWD and nothing MAJORLY wrong. I'm going to be buying CV axle spacers and that should be fixing the issue. Lifted trucks have the same issue/resolution so why not lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that1dood Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 awesome thanks for the input guys. one of the drawbacks of being in the military and sitting around on call doing nothing all day is I sometimes start to over think and over complicate things.. Now time to start the hunt for a good set of donor wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
