3.5 and 5" drop picks.
Does anyone have any pics of 3.5" front and 5" rear static drops. I saw a truck the other day and was told it was 4 and 5 and the rear was visibly lower than the front. I have a 3.5 and 5 in my chassis right now and am a bit nervous. I understand tires make a difference but just need to see some pics so I can sleep at night.
Thanks Kevin

That looks like a pain in the butt to load and un load. You must have strong friends

Re: 3.5 and 5" drop picks.
Looking like I may have to get some new springs for my truck. I did the 2.5/4.0 drop from ECE, but the look of the 3.5/5.0 seems to be magnetic....

Thanks! When I saw these wheels on other board members trucks I knew that was the wheel I wanted to use.. The other bonus with these wheels is that I didn't have to convert to five lug... I used this tool to get my back spacing-> http://wheelworksinc.com/ The wheel is Billet Specialties Vintec, fronts are 20*8.5 with 5.5 BS and the rears are 20*10 with 5' BS. Tires are 255/45 and 295/45 Toyo Proxies st2
