Here is mine before I shortened it. 15x10 with a 275/60 out back and 15x8 with a 255/60 up front. I had 275s all around, but after I lowered it they rubbed the fenders up front. You could probably run a 275 up front on a 8 rim, but it didnt work on my 10's. Its 2.5" up front with WC spindles and 4" rear with a shackle and hanger kit.

Yes I was working on a how to on converting a long bed to a short bed. My comp got a virus and I lost all the pics. Its not hard though.

looks good, thinking about going 4/6 drop. Is there anything i need to know for this or about this drop? I'll need to do a c notch right??

I dont know about that, I'm running a 2.5/4 like I said, no notch needed for that. I think you can run a flip kit (around 6") without a notch, but thats pushing it.

i know of someone with a 1975 2wd 1/2 ton frame that has a posi and is lowered with axle flip in the rear and not sure what it is up front, but the rear doesn't have a c notch. He is asking 300. Should i scoop this up. Has everything but rims/tire. BTW Canadian dollars here.
