5/8 with a 16" Alcoa style wheel, and factory (chrome) center caps.

16s? What made you want to go that small?

Thanks for the info.
I'll probably never drop, not my cup of tea, but good to know.

I guess if you lower that far, you have short suspension travel and also a pretty stiff ride too.

I have helper bags on my truck for when I tow my boat or have a heavy load in my bed. They rock.

Can't get a short enough tires for 19.5's 19's get expensive. it will be too low for 22.5's. They can be milled down to 22" 24.5's can be milled down to 24"but both are a huge undertaking.
Need 8 to 10 lug adapters, convert to 3/4 to brakes in the front, then widen the control arms 1.5 ". For the rear, the fenders have to be widenend, or the axle has to be swapped for a cab and chassis axle, and everything relocated.

Had my pressure washer out today, doing a few other things around the house. Not planning on replacing the carpet in this truck anytime soon so...
8 bolts later...

Think the cat in this thing gets hot???

Coffee anyone???

Not too bad for some spray nine, water, and pressure.

Pretty good improvement.

Was the padding stuck where that heat was from the cat?

There is actually a section of additional fire resistant padding in that area.
