i really like both the trucks!

but i do have a question about yours. is it still the 4/6 drop with 18/20's?

mine has 20/22's a rear flip kit and lower springs up front(done before me so not sure on the front drop) anyway, point being... the rear wheels JUST line up the top of the tire with the fender lip, but ive got about 2 to 2 1/2" of gap above the front tire to the fender lip and had been trying to convince myself id be ok with the extra rake that 2.5 drop spindles would give me so that the fender/wheel gap was uniform.

i thought it would look like crap(since the smaller front bigger rear wheel setup adds to the rake even more), but yours looks great. and if yours still is the 4/6 18/20 setup then mine is more then likely the 6" or so you get from the rear flip kit and maybe a 2" upfront... and i think id be happy with a set of drop spindles.
