Default Lowering an '02 1500 Sport

I have an '02 1500 sport with OE 20's. Has anyone used the Belltech 2/5 drop kit with these wheels and tires? Or do I have to go with a lower profile tire? I know there are better kits out there, but I can get a real good one time deal on the Belltechs.

The belltech is actually one of the best drop you can get for these trucks right now. You will have to get a lower profile 20. I put a belltech 2/5 kit on a buddies truck and he had the stock 275/65/17 and he barely had enough room. to hard of a turn and it rubs.

Why don't you look into the Ground Force Kit. I have heard nothing but good things about it. Lowers your truck 1.5/4.3 inches
