I want to build a rcsb and lower it 3/5 with 22” wheels on it. It will be a 4x4 so traction shouldn’t be a problem. Can anyone chime in if they have a similar setup and give some feedback? Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Sorry, located in Detroit

 

I've driven many lowered cars, trucks and lifted trucks in the winter, the lifted ones could go places the lowered ones didn't have the clearance for. On my vehicles I would usually have some sort of winter set of wheels and tires but I've learned over the years to have another winter vehicle if you're daily is lowered or highly modified.

Welcome to the forum. Can't help with your question. My truck is stock.

 

The most important thing driving in snow is tires, more important than 4X4/hp/anything. a good set of winter tires for snow will go a long way. if you want to keep the 22' wheels all year round, that might be challenging getting AT tires or snow tires.
You will have disatvantage driving in deep snow as it's lowered but I think that goes without saying.

 

I drove a Porsche 911 AWD as my DD in Alaska for 5 years. With studded snow tires I had awesome traction but with much more than 6" of snow I risked getting "high centered". I would bet at long as you don't expect you can drive through more than a foot you will be fine.

 

It will suck if you get a decent amount of snow fall....heck it would be no different than a lowered car at that point. This is the main reason I decided not to lower my truck. I like it being usable in the small instances we get slammed by 6"+ of snow which is rare anyway.

 

I'm of the mindset of "never F with your daily", but its not my truck.

 

If the snow is up to your air dam or bumper, you ain't going anywhere.

 

I’ve always had some sweet cars (most of them mustangs), sitting in my garage because I wouldn’t drive them to work (really nasty environment). I’m getting ready to retire and want to have a daily that looks cool, is fun to drive (whipple) and I can carry a sheet of plywood with it! The wife always has a 4wd SUV so for high snow, it can stay in the driveway.
