Hey bud size wheels and offset? Also what size tires? I'm about to order some 22x9s with a +32 offset and I'm going for that same look. Having problems choosing a tire size. I have a 3 / 5 drop 2013 f150. I'm want the most rubber I can get without rubbing. And going with the 420s... thx
275 45, 285 40, 285 45???

3/5 drop on 2015
I initially dropped this one 3/6. It constantly bottomed out!. I installed an additional leaf spring to bring it up 2". Then used shackles to lower it about 3/4". I like the way it sits now. I did pick up a pretty noticeable shudder after lowering the truck. I added 2 1/2 degree shims in the rear and that took care of the shudder. I'm thinking about installing some air ride to smooth out the ride. Any input? suggestions on products? I only have about 3" between the top of the axle and the frame (flip kit).
Thanks

Re
I love it and I'm glad I didn't go any lower. Yeah I'm running stock wheels with the stock tires and there is an inch or 2 gap from the tire and wheel well. Looking to eventually go with a set of 22's with a 40 profile tire which should fill it up nice.

so you're still looking for a 34" tall tire on a 22" rim. at that point your best options will be either a 275/55/22 or a 305/50/22

Please post more pics and from further distance to show the entire truck. Not many lowered '15's yet so any pics you could add would be GREAT!
