I can't remember the exact size. They are the factory 18s and tires off my 15'. They measure about 33.5x10.5 or so...they are just temporary.

Got ya, that's the same look I'm going for on my 97. Just wanted to see how big of a tire you stuffed in there and could still turn.

Was cutting one coil all that was done to the front?
Are you concerned with cutting the coil adversely affecting weight transfer?

Not at all...all cutting one coil would do is lower the truck. The spring rate isn't affected. If it doesn't handle well I'll install lowering coils.

I'd have to politely disagree on the spring rate. However that's not what the threads for so its neither here nor there.
What's your plan for wheels and round rubber rings?

I have cut coils in my race truck which was once street driven and it handled better than it did with a leveling kit. I want 20x9 novakanes wrapped in 305/50 proxxes st1s

I believe fuel pressure will end up being the issue. But I'll most likely address that before installing the 215 to get some back to back results. Dvs will be the same. The only other difference is the 215 has 5ks and the 160 4ks

probably due to the increased spring rate from reducing the number of coils.
cool project!
