You mean ground clearance or tire clearance? Ground clearance is fine, but also consider I have stock exhaust, lol. Im going to get LTs and exhaust first then decide wheather I want to go lower or not. As for tire clearance, just had to bang out the fenderwell a bit. No biggie.

Eagle F1 Supercar tires. 295/35/18 rear, 265/40/17 up front.

Burnout, its the rear fender that needs a little banging. The fronts fit like a charm.

Hey whats up Jack! Long time no post on CZ28! Hehe, yeah I've gone through a few but I plan on keeping this one for a long time.

Hey, do you have AIM or anything? I knew you were in the army, but I had no idea you are an MP. I'm thinking about going into the service, and going into that field.
