Thanks DS, I don't know how to figure the difference changing rear height will affect the front so I am hoping it will work. As far as the rear wheel pattern, the back is 4 1/2 ford and the front is 4 3/4 Chevy. I believe I have 3 choices, 1 just get non- matching pattern wheels, 2 drill the rear axles as you suggested, 3 get front rotor/hubs with 4 1/2 pattern. My front rotors are badly rusted and I have to replace them. If I can get rotors with 4 1/2 pattern while keeping the same bearings and calipers I will do that, if not then the rear will get drilled. Having non matching patterns does not sit well with me in case I have a flat, lol.
