Default 2009+ 3.5/5.5...Now I want it lower.

Well I replaced my 18" 265/35's with 285/35/22's. I cant stand how it looks now. It raised it 4". Before it was Lowered 3.5/5.5 with Belltech plus the Low pro 18's dropped it 4" more...
Has anyone gone from the 3.5/5.5 and added componets to go lower and still be able to align the 2009++?
Also does anyone know how low you can go with the 22" wheels and a 35profile? Here is a pic of a RCSB, it says 3.5/5.5 with 22" but mine doesnt look that low at all. This truck looks 5/7 if those are 22's i think.

My wheel clearance now. It looks like my fronts would hit the fender if I went down more than 3". The back would tuck (seems like rear fender sticks out more??)


285/35/22x9". +44 offset.

Sorry, but your truck looked gay *** retarded with those 18's........I doubt you have a 3.5/5.5 on there now. Looks more like a 2/4. It looks a ton better now with those 22's.

Gay *** retarted, man how could I forget you with all that Charm...
Now that you explained how you felt about something I didnt ask (for the 2nd time since last year) your wrong, my kits a Belltech 3/5 without any spacers in front 3.5 and rear flip with the lift shackle for 5.5.... It acually measured a little more than that since it settled....
So back to my original questions for anybody with experiance with my body style.

Throw the 18's back on, then, seem perfect for you. I did compliment your truck as it sits now, guess you didnt see that did you............

Bro all I want is to get some info. I dont give a rats *** about anything else..this is the same back n forth sh*t you did last year & you never had any info for my thread to begin with. I see someone else asked a quiestion a while back and instead of answering it, you Asked them why they asked their own question...
Go get your 3000+ post count in 1 1/2 yrs somewhere else & have a good night.

First of all, I have never replied to ANY of your other threads. I complimented how your truck looks now. Tony will answer you and give you what components you need to drop it another 2 inches all around (as you have already asked him to do). You can email him 24/7 or call him for a faster answer. You seem to be a frustrated person. Goodluck "bro"

Ya know what, your right. It wasnt you last year that blew my thread up with BS and smart *** remarks. My bad. I thought from your first statement "Gay *** retarded" that it was. Next time maybe leave that out since telling me how retarted my truck looked wasnt part of what i asked...i apreciate the complement on the wheels though. I know Tony will answer and I have his # i was jist trying to find someone here with personal experiance or pictures of a kit/components they have on now for reference.

DJM makes a 2" and a 3" lowering lower control arm. According to their website it shouldn't mess with your alignment settings.
Crown suspension makes a 3" lowering shackle for the rear. You just have to fold the bed seam over a little so it doesn't rub.
Hope this helps.

Now that you mention it I remember that A-arm now. I debated it when doing the adjustable Belltech struts.. Thanks bro, im thinking a coil isnt any good seeing how I already had to Notch to align it. The A-arms might be the only good solution.
If anyone has pics of a Drop like this on the 09' body style post them up. Ive seen 5/7 7/9 on older models but not 09+. 👍🏼
