How much is your truck lowered?

If your measurements of the 73 rearend are correct, you should be about right I would think. (I have heard others say that they got 275 or 285 tires under a stepside rear, but my 255s are a close fit both inside and outside.)

I lowered my truck so long ago that I don't remember exactly what it was supposed to be. I'm gonna say 3-4 in rear and 4+ in front. My height to fender at the wheel center is 27 1/2 front and 25 1/4 rear. Measure your stock height at those points, subtract my numbers, and you've got the rough amount lowered...(wheel diameter would affect that somewhat too). If you do that please post the result as I would like to know.
