True dat.. Starting near the ball joint, I cut about a 3" by 1/2" section of the lower lips of the control arms. If you don't cut enough off, you may have issues with the control arm rubbing the inner sidewall of your tire when you turn sharp.. I've heard tubular control arms might give you more clearance than the factory ones..

Sorry for the delay... the back axle is flipped which equates to about 5", and the front has dropped spindles plus 1 full coil cut out of the springs which sets the front end just a tad lower than the rear. 15x8 rallys on the front, 15x10's on the back.

Thanks!
I've got 295/50/15 BFG T/A's on the rear, and 275/60/15 BFG's on the front. The front tires are a taller profile than the rear but I already had them on the truck and didn't want to buy new ones for now. With the front end sitting slightly lower than the rear the differences in the the tires isn't really noticable because the tops of the tires are tucked under the fenders. I'm also a little hesitant to get lower profile tires for the front because, with the static drop, I have to watch where I drive now to keep from dragging the lower arms.
