Praise the Lowered
Finally got the AIM drop beams on and smaller tires on front. I had some really wide Nittos up front that wouldn't allow the fenders to clear.

What size tires and rims are you running?

Do you just have a 3"/4" drop?

It sits pretty good. I'm looking at my options on dropping my truck now and just changing the beams is one of them...

I'm guessing it's about a 3" drop in front. I put a 4-link under it and it's in the tallest position. It could drop a lot in the rear but I'm pleased with the way it sits now. The wheels are 17x8 and the tires are 275-50 rear and 245-55 front.

It was $400 for the grille and headlight buckets. One guy wanted $2500, but my painter recommended some Mexicans that were faster and did good work at a more realistic price.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. The six years went by in a hurry. I'm afraid too much cruising will result in tickets
