Have not gotten that far. (About tire size) I'm going 6/10 for now since I have the suspension for it already. But maybe next year I'll bag it and be done. 6/10 on a static drop is very low but inconvenient for a daily driver. I am staying w my 22" or replicas. Just not sure what tires I'll run

Yes I will be changing the control arms. Even now I have camber that can not be corrected. There are so many options available for these trucks.

There isnt many.  Im not saying the crappy djm or inez control arms. Im saying the twisted metalworkz arms or black top industries arms. They will change the upperarm mountand upper and lower arms because going that low your wheel will be pushed back into the fender. These arms. Use new mounts and tuck the front wheel in an extra inch

I was looking @ reklez. There's is similar to twisted metal works. But I'm leaning towards twisted. More people running them

Reklez are for 7" plus drop but they are bolt in requiring no modifications.  Twisted metal will work for any height and coilovers but you need to chop off the upper arm mounts and strut bucket and weld in the new

Just picked up the truck 30 minutes ago. Took it for a drive around the neighborhood and it rides good, I am experiencing some rubbing on the liner so I'm going to pull it back over the weekend.

Mcgaughys 34270. It rubs like crazy, even going down the road at 20mph with the smallest dip it rubs.

I didn't do the install myself. I had a reputable shop do the work so I don't know how many rings they put.

I was going to ask those questions but when I got to the shop I forgot to ask as soon as I saw the truck because it just looked so good lol. I'm going to call them right now and ask.
