I ran 5 3/4 on the front of my red 68 without any issues, I don't see why another 1/4 would hurt you.

I could after I bumped the air just enough to get the tire off the inner fender. I drove this truck with as little air as possible so it would look low (before the dropmember). It rode surprising nice with very little air

The main modification your going to have with the dropmember is going to be inner fenders and hood hinges. I know that Nathan is currently working on the hood hinges so this may be covered in the next month or two. So, with that said what's holding you back on buying one of those new tubular dropmembers?
