With a couple of leaves out of the front springs and 205 60 14 tires on 14x7 rims on the front.

255-60 15 tires on the back on 15x8 rims raise the back a bit higher than tires and wheels that matched the fronts would. There is about 1-1/2 inch between the cut down bumpers and the frame on the front and two and a half inches between the frame and the axle on the back.
