i dont know much about air ride... but ican tell you what happens to my rims when she tries to "tuck" on me cuz my shocks suck... i got a 2/3 drop on my r/t... over rolling bumps, and on the way down from some speed bumps, the tire jams itself up into the fender flare. happened so much it ate right thru the flare and now rubs on the sheet metal. i have 275 wide tires, but where it rubs, it would do it with the 255's.

Your rocker panels would prolly touch the ground, but it is possible. Lots of work. You will have to move the whole inside of the fender up in the engine compartment, which means relocating some stuff like your battery, fuse box, and some wiring harnesses on the passenger side. Another thing that might help is a smaller tire, like a 245/45. But that's what "custom" is all about, dude. If you're willing to put in the work or put up the cash, it can be done.
