[Pic] Looks like I can run 5" drop with 28's up front??

This is how my truck sat stock, with 32x11½ 15's under it. From this picture, it looks like with 28's, I could easily run 5" of drop.

i talked to sport truck direct (wich is local) and they said that all their kits are made for the stock tire size and that is about 29" tall i believe
even if the tire tucks alittle bit the truck will still turn

have fun rubbing your tires all over your inner fenders, cutting your tires up and damaging your fender lips.............

i have 27" on mine and they still occasionaly rub the inners on a big bump. of course don't mind me, i've only had 4 different size tires on my truck...............and sport truck direct if full of crap if they told you you could run stock size. when i first dropped mine i had 235/75/15's on it and you couldn't hit a 1 inch dip in the road with out them slamming into the inner fenders.

are you 27s in the fender or is there a gap between the lip and the tire
are you running stock rims
it could depend on the offset and all.

dont get me wrong
i dont want any hard fellings.
