I've only had a handful of real powder days here but I've still been a lot. I spend my days in the park so fake snow does the trick just fine.

im on 15" steelies with a 3" drop and ss kit with lip hahahahaha

how are you still so high off the ground?? On my 18s I'm already 3.4inches from the ground.. with the 15s that would make 1.9inches from the gound... (3 inch smaller wheels, 1.5inch radius, 1.5inch lower than ''normal'' )

but it's fine; my friend's a mechanic and we remove the springs on our own at the same time as we add my winter tires.

.75 inches lower. Radius, not diameter for that. Only half of that 1.5 would be under the hub
