I run 245/75/15 on the stock (i think) 7 inch wheels (they're the 5 spoke
sport wheels) and the truck is at stock ride height. it's a base model so i
don't have a rear sway bar either. i'm actually thinking of taking some more
pics this weekend, i'll put them on my website and post the link. for now,
you can see what the truck looked like about a year and a half ago.
www.geocities.com\lenny187 they're accident pictures...so brace yourself
for the carnage.
