If you don’t want to do all that work look into a set of aftermarket upper control arms. Even with the bolts out since you have aftermarket keys you’ll still be higher than stock. I know because my truck has them and is the same way. You’ll need factory keys to get flat steering and CV geometry. On my old truck I had slight pressure on my keys for flat angles and 3” shackles and it was perfectly level. As far as wheel and tire size, with 18s you can go from 9-12”. What you can fit depends on how much you like the sawzall. I ran 22x12 -44 with 305/40 lowered and didn’t rub but I cut a lot. If you keep your wheels close to 0 offset and tires around 32” you’ll be fine.Hey everyone I’m new to the forum, and need some advice. I have a 2005 LLY 4x4. I have it currently with the rough country torsion lifts keys, sitting on 305/70R17’s. I am tired off the horrible leveled ride quality. I’m looking into the Belltech 3in drop shackles and backing off the keys to match the front. I also would like to run an 18in wheel, don’t really wanna move up to the 20in. I just need help picking a tire size that will look good with the truck lowered and not rub like crazy, and what offset/ width of rim to run.

Just finished mine up today, snapped a quick pic at my buddy's house. 3" shackles, might still pull the overload.
Thank you! I'll have to get new pics I pulled the overload out.Truck looks sharp! Like it! :thumb:
Couple new pics of mine colormatched
Thanks guys! It is lowered, I have 2" Belltech shackles in the rear with front leveled to match. I plan on lowering front end a bit more since I have some clearance but I'm not one to want to cut or move any metal.
whats done to the lmm?Here’s my two current lowered turds
