Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Thanks Shawn -- I was kind concerned about the height but I think once the bed side is covering the tread and it doesn't blend where the tread meets the sidewall then the sidewall wont look as big. The picture makes them look bigger than they are.
295/45 - 30.45" tall
295/40 - 29.29" tall
It adds about .55" of sidewall .. which I think (personally) looks really good. I know most run 40 series on 5.5" BS but I'm going to set them back a little and a little bit more tire. I'm doing my own bedwood so a little tweaking (if necessary) will not be a problem to go 7 or so drop in the rear. Remember I lost .75" drop with the trailing arm flip mod so right now it's sitting at 6" spring, 1" block. We'll see how it looks after the bed gets on, all the wood, etc. What 500 more pounds? .. more? If I need it, I'll do 1.5" blocks. .. or 2" .. 4.5" drop up front so I don't want to get it lop sided.
