Default Just wondering

Okay so I've got 17x9 wheels with like -12mm offset (tires stick out about inch to 1 1/2) wrapped in 285/70/17 nitto terra grappler a/t tires. Would it be possible to lower my 2wd truck onto these without rubbing? I have a 3" level in front right now because I've always wanted a "tall" truck. Now I'm considering lowering it lol. Any input appreciated.

You shouldn't have a problem. I have a 3/5 drop on mine and have ran 285/50/20 and 305/50/20 with no issues.

Mine is a 2wd drive yes. I highly recommend the Belltech 914SP or 908sp.

Try these links. They are for the 914sp. You can get the 908sp kit a little cheaper but it doesn't include the front springs. Just the lowering struts. I suggest getting the new springs for the best ride. Plus why go to all the trouble of doing this to use old springs.
