You could try the 73-80 fenders, I think they are taller so you have more room.

I was referring to inner fenders. Not the outer fender itself.

Ok, want to go lower, turn your wheels lock to lock. Measure how far the fender lip is from the tire and subtract atleast an 1-1.5"s. So with the wheels turned lets say its 4inches from the tire, you could drop the truck 2.5-3 more inches.

I cut a small peice off my 2"drop springs... so I'm alittle lower, but now my tires rub the fender on light bumps.... how many of u guys cut that part out...

Alot of people have cut that out for wheels to clear. Shouldn't be a problem.

I don't have drop spindles so my control arms have about 5" of clearance under them. My truck is about a 5.5/8 drop and i have just as much clearance underneath as a stock sports car. I have never once bottomed out on anything except the bump stops. Thats the one disavantage of drop spindles. Instantly puts the control arm 2-3" closer to the pavement. As long as you can align it afterwards then you are ok... I am only going to install drop spindles when I bag the front. I'll be able to raise the front way up to drive it anyways so clearance wont be an issue. I'll try to take a pic this week of the clearance under my front end. Im not saying this is the way anyone else should do it, Im just saying spindles cause ground clearance issues when you start running big drops and small tires.

15x7
215/70r15 front
235/75r15 rear



215/70r15 all around

I've hit some pretty big manholes and road imperfections and haven't had any clearance or rubbing issues in the front with a smaller tire.

Is that a "redneck rear drop kit"?
