It all depends on the rest of the suspension- motor mounts, camber adjustment, rear suspension settings. Lowering does not kill your E.T.'s.

What are you talking about? He asked if the slicks would fit with a 2 inch drop, not what effect lowering the suspension would have on his ET's

I went and threw on my M&H 24.5x8.5x15's really quick and I have about an inch and a quarter between the lip of the fender and the edge of the tire. My front is lowered maybe a half inch to an inch below stock (skunk2's) so I would have to say no way, they won't fit with a 2 inch drop, especially considering you'll have to have some room for movement/wheelhop/etc........

I know for a fact you can fit Mickey Thompson 22x8x15's, but they're too small a slick if you're making more than about 270 wheel horsepower.......
