Got a 4.5 drop from front and about 6.5" drop from rear. Truck sits level at 26.25" on center of each fender. My tire is 29" tall 255/75/15. It does drive and rides fine. However the spindle at the tie rod is about 1/8" from the inner rim lip and I had to cut the balance weights off the back of the rim. My truck is getting 255/45/20, 29" tires soon. So I have no concerns with that tire and drop. Rubbing is expected with strong bumps or dips but inner fenders can be modified...

Found this thread since I have an '87 that I'm about to be lowering. To hopefully help others not run into issues, I just wanted to correct the tire size mentioned above ^^. I suspect the OP is running 255/70-15 as that is right at 29.1" diameter not the listed 255/75 which would be nearly at 30" overall diameter.

I'm currently on 265/70-15 (29.6") so sounds like I might be able to get away with a drop similar (but not quite) what the OP has, which is great to know!
