Title: 3/4 or 4/6 drop?
Post by: 73c10Shorty on September 06, 2008, 01:23:10 am

Hey guys, I'm trying to decide between a 3/4 and a 4/6 drop. I plan to run 15"/8" wheels with 255/70/15 tires. Can anyone help me out with some pics?

I've asked this same question before. 255/70/15 tires won't work with a 4/6 drop, they will rub. Many have done a 3/4 drop with the 255/70/15 drop. You would want to run a 60 series tire with a 4/6. I'm going with the 3/4 since I have crappy roads in new england, and may use my truck as a truck from time to time.

That tire is too tall and probably wouldn't look very good either.

i would say 3/4 drop but it kinda depends on what your planning to do with the truck.

I want the truck to look good but still be usable as a truck when I need one. I don't do any major hauling or anything like that. If anything it would be an occasional trip to the dump, or taking my son's quad somewhere.

I'm not set on the wheel/tire combo that I mentioned either. I actually like the way 17's look with a 4/6 drop.

with a 4/6 drop, you don't want to have a tire over 28" tall or it will rub.
