Updated picture of 69 GMC with drop spindels and tires

OK guys finished up the 2 1/2" drop spindles late last night and went this evening after work and added 215/70-15's it put the front down were it should be I guess? The tire size is going to work it is close but I can rock the truck up and down hard and turn the wheels and no scrubbing so I think that I am OK on that problem. Now of course as the wife would say I still am not satisfied 100% I don't like as much rake as I ended up with. I guess one simple fix is with my leaf springs I could take out the large flat bottom overload spring but not sure how much drop I would get but I don't need very much to suit me. I don't know how everybody measures for the height but from floor to bottom edge of fender well front is 26" and the rear is 28 1/2" I like a truck a little more level. If this removing the leaf is not a good ideal maybe go with a lowering shackle or a new lower tire size. Good lord here I go again with more tire sizes! I stayed with the 235/75-15 in the rear it fills out the well good but maybe a shorter tire is in order, what ya think? By the way I located two 7" rallies in Florida a board member has to change out the front wheels hopefully that will work out. Well guy's I really like the front but just want that back end down just a little and still fill in the fender well and I figured out tonight that I will probably have to install a C notch if I go anymore on the back. Thanks for the help guys Robert Sorry for the bad pictures it was almost dark here.
