Just picked this up. 350/700R4

I bought suspension superstore 4.6”/6” drop and installed

New 255/70/15 Coopers

I have some work to do as it is rubbing on fender wells bad

Would like some advice on clearance on front fender wells if someone as a magic bullet

With that drop you're gonna need a shorter tire...the 255/70 is a 29" tall tire.. a 255/ 60 or a 245/60 will be about 2" shorter and give you the clearance you need..

It sits good with the suspension drop. Neat looking truck.

Thanks PowerdbyChevy79. Got the 245/60/15 on and no rubbing on bumps.

Thanks for the help
