Tony.. I took my 18" lariat wheels off and got Harley 22" with 285/35's and cant stand it, raised my truck up 4"'s. Right now it has the Belltech 3.5/5.5 I got from you this past spring.
How much can I take it down with these wheels (30" dimension) and whats the cheapest way. The kit cost me $800 just to install with Alignment so remember I pay a garage so Im looking for least labor intensive.
Can I get 2 more inches with my stock shackles without bottoming out? What can I do up front? Thx

shackle question when towing
I have a 2009 Lariat 4x4. I was looking into getting shackles at either 1 inch or possibly 2 inches setting and running a 275 60 20 nitto terra G2 on factory wheels. I have a 5500 dry weight travel trailer that I tow often and also tow a even heavier dump trailer now and then. What options do I have to be able to level the look of the truck some and still have no problems with towing or vibrations. I have a set of trimben spacers I will be installing also to help with the sag. Do you think the 1 inch setting will need a shim since the trailer sag when towing will be closer or maybe even more like the 2 inch setting? Thanks for the help.
