Im also considering Z'ing the frame in front but will need to figure out steering aswell if that's done. If the law becomes an issue it will be raised back up.

I think I remember you flipped yours, that may be in my future too, and I am not nearly as low as you are. 8025605-icondrool.gif (173 downloads) It takes gasoline to interest me.

In other words scrub line as I mentioned before.;) Also, tire height and rim size have nothing to do with scrub line. Only sidewall height affects scrub line. Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!

When I said Tire size affects Height nowhere did I mention scrub line I simply said it would change the height of the vehicle. shorter tires drop it Closer to the ground and Taller tires lift it away from the ground. This thread was simply to see 17" rims with different tire sizes to get a feel for what the will look like Not about laws or who knows what. Thanks to those who posted their trucks and stated tire sizes. Much appreciated!

My "Scrub line" comments were directed at jstollfu's pics and were intended to be informative, not derogatory. I'm not too proud to admit when I'm wrong. I was trying to do too many things at once and got some words in the wrong place. This should say, " Overall tire height and sidewall height have nothing to do with scrub line. Rim size affects scrub line". As you pointed out. You did in fact broach the subject of "raising it up if it's too low". I took that to be a reference to legality. My apologies. Sounds like a 255/50-17 would be about the ideal size for what you want. Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!

I appreciate everyone's Knowledge but when people just post to post it gets annoying especially when they aren't informative. I mentions raising Mine if it happens to be too low but I honestly doubt it will be for me. In a few years it will either get Z'd or a Dakota Stub. The Kid with the blue truck I posted is pie cutting some uppers for me to give a better balljoint angle. Much Respect Cheeto
