Most aggressive stance?!
 
So My truck is a work in progress and I'd Like to eventually have a race truck. But I've noticed all the Duramax guys and cummins guys seem to have a good aggressive stance. What's the best setup to get a good race type aggressive stance. As far as wheel and tire size, wheel offset, and suspension. I currently have 35s and a leveling kit and it scrubs. The truck is a ccsb 4x4. I hope someone understands what type of stance I mean lol those trucks that just look badass. Feel free to post pics!:rocking:

Higher - wheel offset will give you a wider stance.

and making sure that the front end is about 1" or so LOWER than the front.

I can't stand the look of a truck that is "bulldogging it" or as some people call it the "Cali-lean" where the front end is 1-2" HIGHER than the rear.

I like a vehicle with the proper rake. An awesome looking vehicle can look like monkey butt if the rake is wrong...

What do you guys think on tires and wheels? 35s and 20s or 33s and 18s?

it depends on how much lift you have, how much gear you have, and how much power you make. it will take more power to turn 35's than it will 33's. therefore they cause a loss of power to the ground.

also determining what size tire you want to use to race with, assuming you mean Drag Racing when you mention "race truck" but if you are talking sled pulling I have no clue what is the best setup for that.

I was hoping somewhere in the 500 rwhp to start with til I can get a tranny that will handle more. Then I'd like to throw a set of compounds or spray it. It's got 3.73 and nothing big. I'd like to stick either the leveling kit I have now and hike the back up a tad bit more and maybe step down to 33s

I did the leveling kit with more leaves on stock springs for front, and have 35 tires on 18 wheels, gave me the highest load capacity, (3880 lbs per tire) for hauling my 36 foot 5th wheel when I need . .empty it is just level, will add airbags to rear since I really should have dully for this trailer, but don't need too often. Looks good, clears fenders, just kisses springs at full lock. . . Just my $.02. . . .

That 5R110 can handle a LOT of power, seen a couple Fummins in the 6-700HP range with a stock internal trans...the TQ converter on the other hand is the weak link. Top 2 things that Ford is known for are transmissions and rear axles.

As far as the stance goes, I'm with Ben, I can't stand the Prerunner look on a full size truck, F-150 is the biggest truck that can still make it look decent (and no mall crawlers, only desert trucks). The way I think of tires/rims is get the smallest diameter rims I can fit on there, makes for less weight to get turning and fairly similar on the tires.

the only way the F-150s that look good that way are the ones that start with R and end with aptor


those 4 door Raptors are a sexy breed...

They are nice, but I can't deny that this is a good looking truck (again as long as it sees desert time)
