How much static drop? What tire size?
My bet is you'll need to slightly enlarge the wheel-tubs (mini-tubs) for a 12" wheel w/anything more than 5" of rear drop.

7" front 'static' drop? Yikes.... That's also a heck of a difference front to rear (normally it's a 2" difference). 11" rear drop will definitely require modifications to the bed and/or rear housing depending on how much wheel lip you want.

7" drop in the front with 22" you might have a ruff time making turns.......If you havent already, put 22" on before you drop it anymore and see where your at
