These pics are now active. Notice how tight the tire is to the bump stop dish, without even being lowered yet. I don't see how anyone could do this without slashing their Tire sidewall, even thought I have had people tell me it can be done. The setup is a Rancho prostreet swingaxle with a 3.88, and a .82 fourth (freeway flyer 4th) Short Heavy duty axles etc.)..
What should I do? Cut the bump stops off in order to lower it? I don't want to run pizza cutter rear tires, that would defeat the purpose of having shorter axles and a beefed up tranny... I could put longer axles back in, but I would have just wasted purchasing short HD axles and cutting the drums down.... I am not rich! eheh
