Eh, 2 inches off at what looks like about 30 feet isn't too bad. Those rims might also be 20s because I was eyeballin' as if they were 18's.

I like the pic with the level set to what you would get with a shackle as well. A friend of mine with a chevy colorado used an F150 lowering shackle to lift his truck.

Nice looking wheels, 88. Your new tires will have the same unloaded diameter as mine, but since they're such low profile jobs, I doubt they'll "squish" as much.

Probably, lowering/leveling will improve handling and mileage. I don't really see any "cons". Wonder if it will give you a rougher ride?

I've driven f150's with the 18's on them and compared to the 20's that I have now the ride is more soft.
So moving to the 22's will stiffen the ride up a bit more than the 20's and a lot more over the 18's.
I wanted to try to keep the same tire height as the spare also.
Its been fun crunching tire sizes the past few evenings.
Also tried to do an availablity seach for the tires to determine the size for one of those just incase moments when a tire decides to blow and shread.
Thanx
