Really itching to get a lowering kit for the truck. I want to wait till I need new tires though. I was wanting to go with the cooper zeon ltz 305's. Would I have any rubbing issues? Also it looks kind of like a aggressive tire...anyone who has them with a lowering kit does it look right on thier? I didnt want it to look like im damn near puttin mud grips on a lowered truck. Thanks yall for the opinions.

looks sweet thanks for the pic. I saw them on campus on a 04 dodge ram and it looked awesome. Im thinkin i may not get the drop now tho they look a lil aggressive to be on something lowered.

Don't do the ltz's on a "dropped" truck... Just my opinion. And you wouldn't be able to do a 2/4 with a 305/50/20 anyways. Wayyy to much rubbing up front when dropped due to tire height/width. Need to run a 275/55 or less with a 2/4 to clear properly.

Ltz's are great tires for stock height trucks.. I ran 285/50's on mine for a while.... Loved them.

LTZ use to be ONLY availible from Discount tire.

nightmare, i dont know how your 2/4 drop is not causing a rub (on big dips). Even my 275s rubbed the top of the front wheel well liners. difference between 04 and 06+? Confused

mine will rub on a huge dip when im going fast enough but not little dips or anything doesnt hit on rough railroad tracks or anything either ive had it on for 2 years and i can only count a hand full of times they have hit the inner fender and i have taken it offroading and all sorts of stuff you normally dont do with lowered trucks. i use to live on a farm so dirt roads and cattle guards and pot holes are no ploblem
