How much was my truck lowered?

[Thomas Hansen]

good evening, new to the site. Bought a truck and have plans for it.

Can you guys tell me how much it’s lowered? Also, I’d like to get some torqthrust wheels for it. Do you know what max size wheel/tire will look good on it? Keep in mind that this truck will be hauling and towing when I’m done with it: I don’t want it to rub in the back

Thanks!

Does it have a “c” notch in the frame over the back axle?

It looks like a 2/4. 17 or 18 would look great and still give you a bit of a sidewall but 20 would be sweet with a touch harsher ride.

No c-notch and you can tell with large bumps

Think so? I’m thinking 18’s cuz of ride quality and towing. Do you know if I can fit a 18x10 torq thrust 2 in the back with out rubbing? Also, What do you think the widest rim I could up front? 18x7 or 18x8?

Here’s a pic of the crap that’s on it now:

Hey Richard,
Could you answer the backspace question above? I know an 8" will fit and I want to say it is a 4.5 backspace but I know you have forgotten more than I know on that question.

Dropped the truck off for some body work and paint. I talked to a couple local tire places and one of them had an 18x10 on 5x5. No tire was on it but it looks like it’ll clear no problem. Now to decide on what size tire. I’m thinking 295/45. Do you think that setup will rub?

295/40's on 20x10" wheels + a 2/4 drop. Lots & lotsa room. No rub issues.

Same T's & W's on my '98 with a 4/7 drop. The fender lips aren't even rolled!

@sewlow LOVE the 98! What is the wheel and tire combo? Looks like exactly what im looking for.

255/45-20 & 295/40-20 on 20x8.5 & 20x10 Boss 338's.
