I think my tires are 29" tall, and they are tucked up inside the fender. I don't think yours looks that much lower than mine. I think I ended up with alot more than the intended 3 1/2" drop. Here's a before and after with the same height tires. Looks like I got more like 5 or 6" to me. Did you expect your drop to put your truck as low as it is, or did it end up lower than you expected?

my tires are 28'' tall, they rubbed when i put 3 inch colis in so i swaped for 2 inch. now the front is 4 1/2" im not shure if it rubs much when i turn, i havent driven lowered yet. but i need to bolt up the inner fender to the outer better and that should give me about a 1/2'' then it will come up a little when i lower the rear the rest.

Man your truck looks badass. I havent seen it since you got it all painted and put together. Love the color and cowl hood. I had 2 1/2 in drop spindles and 3 inch drop springs on mine at first, but I only had like 2 inches of clearance from the header collectors, and was scraping everything. Went to a 1 in. drop spring and its a lot better, but no wicked stance.
