Nice truck. What did you use for the drop, and what size were the wheels and tires that came with the truck?

they 17in TT's have 245-55s i think. the smoothies have 255-35-20 and 265-35-22.

the drop on the rear is home made flip,2in shackles and no over load leaf, and the front is cut 1ton springs :-\ till i get LCA's
