Static NBS Thread 99-07c

[Jared]

when I dropped mine to 6" I could not turn lock to lock on my 20's and 275/45, my fender and tires can prove it, it was like trying to turn an old "boat" of a car with no powersteering. It sucked, and was stupid and not worth it. I ripped a fender and gouged my wheels just in my neighborhood. And peyton wasn't tubbed? I could of swore he said he was.

he was mini tubbed at the time he was that low static on 24s.
We cut and beat and made it work, however it rubbed like a mofo turning or not turning. Ripped out all the inner fenders also. not but a couple months later it was bagged.

Was not ideal at all but it could still be turned.

you're gonna rub. But not bad, just hit liners on big dips and stuff. I drove around on 5/7 with 245/70/17s for a long time with just -2 camber front. only rubbed big dips

Does anyone run qa1 coilovers up front? Are they cheaper than ridetechs? Velzga what drop does your truck have? it looks very nice.

QA1's, or any other twin-tube design shock, is going to deliver sub par performance compared to a mono like the ride tech.

Not to mention I just broke a QA1 shock last year. Damping couldn't handle the weight of my truck at the level I had it set at and blew itself apart.

thanks man
its at 5/7 on tahoe 20s, running a 245/45

 

[Dakota]

I need those 245/45s, my 245/50s rub at 5.5/9.5

 

[Jared]

That's the size im going with next.

 

[2005_Silverado]

baby tarz :cute:

 

[Jared]

Gotta pay to play. I'll need smaller tires once im bagged. Which sucks because these are still practically new.

 

[2005_Silverado]

i need 275/45s :emo:

 

[Jared]

Tis what I have. I rub up front.

 

[2005_Silverado]

sell to me cheap

 

[Jared]

Coming to pick them up?

 

[velzga]

245/45 don't look like baby tires if your slammed. If your low they still fill out the wheel wells nice. You could also go 275/40 which are almost exactly the same size sidewall height, just wider width obvi. I went 245/45 nitro 420s cause the price is much less than the same tire in a 275/40

 

[2005_Silverado]

Ive got 275/40s up front and look small on a 4" drop kay:


jared, i haz means of picking up...specially if u at QTs

 

[Jared]

Go lower, problem solved.
