Re: is 28 tall front tire to tall?
depends on the back spacing of your rim. I can run up to a 28" tall front tire on mine(lays frame), but i am only limited by my slosh tubs. right now i have a 26" tall tire on there.

Back when mine was 4.5/6 drop i ran 235/75/15`s on 8" rims with no problems.

Hart_Rod, would you mind sharing your tire sizes and wheel specs? Back spacing, front and back?

I love the profile of your rig..
