The 255/70/15's on my RC are almost if not the same height as the 275/60/17's on my SS/T

the 70 series to the 60 series should be an inch shorter. really just depends on the manufacturer

Yeah, saw the 2wd AFTER I posted. My bad.

These are a pretty tall tire, but they are what I had to work with.
I would have liked to go lower, but this one is going to have to earn it's keep, some hauling is in its future ...not going to get much beyond this, probably not even paint.

He's running 20"s in it. Simple to get that low. Dakota drop spindle and van lower arms in front or Dakota drop spindle and cut coils. rear is axle flip notch and hanger flip and drop shackle. He has a lowering block. I plan to use a front hanger in the rear with a drop shackle.

I won't need 35series tires. 55/60 should be fine. Waiting to see what sizes people are running to get an idea what the look like. 30" tire is a little taller than I want.

VL21 I like your ride That is my idea of what a working truck should look like. At the moment I am running 245/75R16s on aftermarket rims on my '87. I could see some 17s in its future after I replace the cut coils and shocks on the front. Mine has to work for a living, too.

Mine has 17's. BTW you won't really be able to drive that truck sitting that low. Mine is about as low as practical for any sort of daily driving and I still have to be careful were I go. But I'm sure you know more then I do! Josh-

The kid with the blue truck says he drove it all over. I do want it that low but my driveway I don't thing Will allow for one but Im tossing around the idea of the bags that go inside the coils and the helper bags for the rear for a few years and later on when my Fabrication skills are better doing an actual air ride. I drove my clubcab daily with it sitting on re bumostop brackets. The front hub was 13" from the fender lip. I had to jack it up to jack it up lol. If it always hits it'll get raised up some. Lets see some pics of your truck. Yours is the 2tone brown and tan isn't it? What size tires?
