Re: 87 R10 with 3/5 drop Can I run 255/70 15 tires?

I'm running a similar setup with mine. My '87 has a 4/6 drop. It has a flip kit out back and 3" drop spindles with half a coil cut. I also took off the rear bump stop bracket and trimmed the lower control arms to clear the stock rallies. Also, the tires do rub on hard dips. Here is a pic of the truck.

Here are some pics of the rear and front bump stops. I installed these bump stops up front to minimize the tire rubbing.

How'd you remove the rear bump stops? Air hammer? Mine are hitting hard lol

I believe I used a sawzall to cut the rivet heads off then used a air punch to knock them out. If not, a cut off tool will do.
