who has 2" dropped spindles w/ IFS?

[spartakus]

...and can tell me some measurements and/or what tire size you are running?

I have my custom IFS from TCI w/ the 2" dropped spindles all mocked up and tacked in on my frame. Lower control arms are level. My frame is set up at the slight rake, stance and height that I want it to be at and is partially based on other trucks I have seen w/ 2" dropped spindles. I had previously mocked up all the sheet metal like the cab, fenders and a bedside to help visualize where I wanted to be and thus the frame is where it is.

However, with where I have everything set up; the center of my hub or spindle is only 11 1/2" from the ground. That only gives me a 23" tire. I was figuring on a 26" tire and know that I should be able to get more than 23"'s.

My measurements are: bottom frontmost of frame is about 7", bottom rearmost of frame is about 15 1/2", bottom of frame at xmember is about 9 1/2", front bottom of running board is about 6", highest point in front fender opening is about 23", highest point of rear fender opening is about 23 1/2", and front bumper is about 6".

With all that above - I am stuck w/ a 23" tire or I lift the front end 1 1/2" if I put a 26" tire on and I know there are trucks out there w/ about a 26" or bigger tire and as low as my mock up.

What do you guys think? Measurements are measurements but, Im kinda thinking something is missing. Best thing for me would to get some actual measurements from people w/ a similar set up.

Thanks for any insight here.
