I was mistaken they are 18" wheels and I plan to put Ground Forces shackle kit on it that will drop the rear 2" to bring it with-in approx. an inch of the front.

Lets consider this ATOM, if the the truck is elevated or dropped the truck is leveled out. There's no sence in splitting hairs over wording. If you would like to answer the question refer back to the top of the thread.

I don't think Atom is Splitting hairs, merely trying to figure out what in the world you are trying to do. Frankly I'm at a loss myself.

Well it would be the same as if he didn't lower the rear because the rear is not the problem the front is.......so what's the reason for the thread.....
hence I'm not sure what he's asking

After lowing the rear 2 inches by installing Ground Force shackles I would like to install something larger tires than the 265x60x18's I have on it right now.

Any ideas and if you have some pictures I would appreciate it.
