245/17 front 275/17 rear dropped 4 in the rear and 3 1/2 in the front or 4 1/2 not sure on that. one I think the spindle is 2 1/2 and I went with 1 inch drop spring or maybe 2... lol damm it sucks getting old.

here is a pic with the 275 15 rears on it, no wood in the bed and no front clip it should drop a bit more once loaded with the rest of the stuff.. I will post up the new pic once I get my 17 rims.... been 10 weeks with stockton and they messed up a bit on there end. Bummed really want to get these installed.
