From what I've seen, drops vary quite a bit depending on a number of factors which are too many to get into here (tire size, what's used to drop, etc.). Always happy to show my 3/4, which will be a 3.5/5.5 tomorrow when I pick it up. Should mention that in the pic below I have 3" coild from a board member in front, and 4" coils from Brother's in back.

Drop pics can be deceiving I find...sometimes the truck looks level, same drop on another truck there is a raked appearance. In the pic above the truck looks pretty level, but I am assuming with a 3-4 the rear sits higher than the front?

TIRE SIZES fellas will help to determine if the drop is correct for your truck. One crucial part of the puzzle.

They are 295/60/15's on an 8 inch wheel and are 30 inches tall. They fit fine no rubbing but at the track they lose air when I launch...so I need a wider wheel to prevent that.

You're right. Depending on where I take a picture it can look anywhere from level to raked. Now that I have the 5.5 in the back I think it's a little too level (if there is such a thing). But I've only seen it in one spot. I'll get pics soon and let others tell me what it looks like. But I still wonder what it would look like if the rubber wasn't so fat.
