Birthday Present Time

[javadoc]

So, luckily I sold my other house, so I didn't have to sell the tomato. My birthday's coming up and the wife is 'getting' me a new exhaust for the truck. That, and I'm going to get the new suspension (2/4 drop, Belltech gear) at the same time. So.. two questions:

1) I found a shop that will do a manifold back, but I can't decide on the package. I'm going to have the exhaust exit in front of the rear tires, under the step. I don't want a 'straight pipe' loud, but I want it to make that diminutive 283V8 sound mean. Any suggestions on mufflers?

2) The truck currently has 235/75-16 Goodyear Wranglers. The main question is if I'll rub due to the drop or not. I'm not concerned about the fender inner or outers, but the height of the tires causing contact. If there's a chance of that, I'm thinking of going with something like 255/60-16s. Anyway, does anyone think the current tires will rub after a drop?

cheers!
