Honestly you might get a quicker response in the clod forum... Since it is a clod no matter how you slice it, just going to be running different tires.

One thing that would help out is relocating the lower shock mounts position. Try mounting them on the lower links. This will lower the overall hight of the truck. Then relocate the upper linkage mounts on the chassis. If your lower linkage mounts and upper linkage mounts are around 1" appart you should be okay.

You can then tweak the chassis, links and shocks little by little until it sits where you would like it.

Hope that helps
