oh ok, I didn't know they had two separate kits. So he just need to get the adjustable kit then.

Yes. But most people think the shackle is cheaper and easier.   Although it might be. It rides like shit becsuse I had that shackle    it should be banned

The adjustable kit does. My kit didnt becsuse I went with the 4/7 kit 

I want to go the full 4/7 as I don't want to cut the factory hanger off but I'm worried the stock 275/55R20 will rub too much.

You dont cut the hanger at 7" in the rear. I'm at 4/7 with stock hangers 

 

And yes that tire will rub everywhere

Yeah I know, I was just hoping to avoid buying new tires if I'm going 4/7. 

 

The thought was to go 3" in the front with 2" spindles and setting the Belltech strut to -1" then doing a 7" flip kit and adding a 1" lift shackle to clear these massive 32" tires.

 

If I go the full 4/7 is still drive able with the 275/55R20? What's the preferred tire size? I've seen 305/45R22 to 255/50R20 on a 4/7 drop?!

It will be drivable yes.  I had 265 50 20 on mine when I had 20s perfect size I think. But are you crew cab or regular cab as crew cabs sit a little lower

I had 275 55 20 on my truck when it was 3/6.  With that lift shackle. Worst ride ever. I'm now at 4.5/7 ish.    So you can use the stock tires for now but you will want to get smaller ones in the near future

I have 285/45R22 which is pretty much the same size as your stock 20s and barely ever rub on 4/6. and thats on 10'' wide wheels.

Look at your front fender liner and the top of the rear fender wells. I have no paint in a few spots.  I thought I didnt rub either. But those felt fender liners quiet it down

What’s the rim offset you’re using for 22x10’s.

Most likely +31

MRR lists the offset on the wheels Qwank and I are running as +30

Anyone know if I would have an issue with my Z71 Rancho shocks if I put in 2" drop shackles?  Or know if I will feel any ride difference from the extra compression on them?

They will be fine with only 2' drop
