    I raised the front with standard super crew springs and lower the rear(shackles) to fit 24" Foose Lusso with BFG 305/35/24
    The weight of my 24 are 82lbs AND STOCK 20 ARE 84LBS. The OD is 32.6 but the 4.10 gears are great to make up the difference. Also have 8 piston Brembo frt Brakes with 15" rotors.

    Well the air ride is out & will be sold. with my aftermarket wheels +3/8" offset to the outside & the 295/45 tires, when they went to but the bed back on after the paint repairs the tires are in the middle of the fender opening & keeping the bed off the frame 2-3"....

    So for those who have stock Haley wheels & 275/45's or even 265/45's that's the sweet set up for the full bag setup...

    I am not going to loose a butt load on my wheels, have (4) 295/45 tires I cannot use (I already swapped the fronts to 275/45's they will stay I like the rake.

    So the Hotchkis TVS is back in & staying forever. Now to send PMs to all those interested in the Air Ride for a great deal... lol 5 people on the list...

    nope no biggie.. I am not changing wheels, tires (again) & such. I am better off sticking with the Hotchkiss for my set up If I had stock HD rims... it would have stayed. It will clear stock HD's with 275/45's & will tuck & almost lay frame with 265/45 or 265/50's

    Question TVS Install ???'s

    Yo' Rob, I have the total TVS and shocks package. When I have them installed (soon), is there any special instructions to give the installer that are not otherwise noted with the package? Also, is it gonna sit leveled? If not, would it be wise to let it be? I have 22" rims with the correct size tires. Thanx!!!!

    The body will have a slight rake upwards to the rear and you will have to have it re-aligned after about 500-700 miles because of settling.

    TVS is the way to go, period. It will provide the best out and out handling for any dollar.
