What settings do you run? I go 26 front and 19 rear for spirited driving, then leave everything on Soft for daily driving.

I would if I didn't have to reduce every single picture manually vs this site doing it automatically. I've got plenty of pics

Tried again to upload 10 pics, all failed. If someone wants pics, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll send you everything I have currently in my phone...in exchange you've gotta reduce and post them here for others :-)

As for my setup, I'm running staggered iForged 20's, perfect offset as they're dead flush with the fender and I went as low as possible. The ONLY time I've rubbed in the front is during the fast and heavy switchbacks while driving through the Napa Valley on the way to Bimmerfest with my GF (110lbs) and myself (250lbs) in the truck. All it did was rub the plastic fender liner on the inside, no damage whatsoever. I've bottomed out once in the rear with three kids in the back (didn't have the SLS hooked up) while on another spirited drive to Eastern Washington on a rise in the road that was damn near a speed bump. Other than that those two at the limit times, it's been great.

No. I was in south lake tahoe and I had lifted it acouple inches for clearance an some local trails. Iv been offroading acouple times in it. Nothing heavy but even lowered I had alright clearance.
You can go abit lower. Nd also spacers more aggressive wheels and either custom spring rate or you can get helper springs to get alittle lower.
