LOL not a chance in hell. You will need more than a roll and shave. Pulling is definitely required. Unless maybe you get some adjustable rear upper arms and really camber it. Adding negative camber through the bottom with the stock suspension will not be enough

Rather then open a new thread i am gonna just piggy back on this one. Gonne be running 19x9/10 +9 all around with 225 in the front and 245 in the rear possible a 40 series. I know rolling will be needed but do i have to pull? I am lowered right now but with 20's and a 35 series, but i am just at the top of the tire. Any thoughts?

Yes, pulling is required. Anything lower than +20 pretty much will require pulling. and go 225/40 front and 245/35 rear. this will be equal height front and rear. a 245/40 would look ridiculous. You only get 2 freebies from me :P now do your damn research
