my 3/4 ton has a 4.5/5 drop on it and i just cant decide what size tire i know that im gonna get a 16x10 in the back and 16x8 in the front but i also need to konw what backspacing everybody runs on their trucks. the 16x10 needs to tuck as does the front. btw the engine/trans are NOT instaled yet. im sorry for all the Q's but i need this info so i can order tires/wheels. thank you -kyle

I am sure someone else may offer different information but as a benchmark, my ralley's (15x10) on my 1/2 ton have 4-1/2" BS on the rear...depending on tire size you may want to do some measuring to figure out how you want the final product to look like.

I was told 4" BS is the most you can go on my 1/2 ton front end.
