Just wanted to shoot a pic of my truck (Cleaned it up)

3/4 belltech with front/rear belltech sp shocks and front/rear belltech swaybars. Also installed the kit back in 1999 and no issues to date. Any questions just ask

That looks real good, have you considered going any lower? Or just leveling out the back?

Not a huge fan of the cap. But beautiful truck nonetheless.

Anyone else running 285/45r22s all around? Just put mine on yesterday, they clear fine for steering but there is a minor rub on big bumps at highway speed, outer tire edge contacting the bottom inside of the fender flare at about the middle of the wheel well. I'd like to know if anyone else has done this and gotten away with it long term?

FYI Truck is a harley screw. I don't know how much it's been dropped but with the new rubber on there is about one finger width between the top of the front tire and the bottom of the fender flare... if you like full wheel wells this is about as good as it's gonna get.

Just so no one gets misled by my post, after letting those 285s "self clearance" a bit of plastic they were still rubbing and started coming into contact with the screws holding the fender flare on, I swapped to a smaller tire and wouldn't recommend anyone else bother trying 285/45r22s on the front of a lowered truck... looked so good, but there were going to be problems. 265/40s are working, 275/35's probably would too but the 265's are just a little taller and fill the well just a little better.
