I dropped my truck and the ride ***** now. The roads here are horrible. Once I sell my 24s and get 26s I'm going back to stock height. Sure lowering looks cool but if it's a daily driver it is not fun going slow and avoiding all the **** whoops in the road.

Op u should have gotten bigger tires so the wheels don't looks so small. 265/40/22 will fit on cars chargers and magnums.. Since u have a truck the smallest tire id get is a 285/45/22... That's what the escalades and denalis and stuff come with stock. Truck would look really really good with some 305/40/22 on there.

Rims are 9 wide, everyone has said 305 is too wide. The tires are tucked in so I think I could go 3/3 without rubbing.

22 inch rims with 40 tall is 1 inch taller than stock, so it doesn't mess with my speedometer.

That cost $243 for the kit and new shocks cost about $50 i run doetsch DONT get belltech theyre as soft as they come. So hes kinda ripping you off selling you used for more than new. Depends the shocks of course if theyre some hi end but i doubt it
