My only suggestion is going with a 4" rear drop spring instead of 3" springs. Mainly for aesthetics. The 2.5/4 drop is a great combo that levels the truck out, but still maintains functionality with decent suspension travel for hauling loads, etc. Im afraid the 3" spring may give it too much rake and have a stinkbug stance.

As for tires, if you plan to go back to 15's a 255/70/15 rear and 235/70/15 front looks good on that drop. You could also run a set of 15x8 gray spoke TTIIs on all fours with the same sized tires for rotational purposes and still have a cool, classic look. Aftermarket wheels have different backspacing that will clear the drop spindles and solve any clearance issues with rally wheels.
