Ride height issue
1968 swb c-10. 350 engine. I have installed 2" drop spindles and 2" drop springs on front. Tires are 235/70/15 BF Goodrich radial t/a. Rear has 6" drop springs, adjustable panhard bar etc. 275/60/15 tires. Same brand as fronts. My issue/ ? Is why is truck not level ? Tire size maybe ? Front measures 26 1/2" from ground to center of wheelwell and rear is 28 1/2". What gives ?

Re: Ride height issue
Looks fine to me.
You do realize the front wheel well opening is higher (from the ground) than the rear wheel opening? I always look at the gap from the tire to the wheel arch.

Re: Ride height issue
Also your cab is sitting lower than your bed. Are your cab mounts shot?
