hmmm...

ok my truck has a pretty much level stance maybe a little higher in the back. well the front tires are roughly 26'' tall and the rears are 29'' tall. that would make the back 1 1/2'' taller. well i have a 2 1/2'' block drop in the back to offset the tire difference. wouldnt that mean then w/ the same front and back the back would only be 1'' higher. and i have a 454 sitting on 350 springs in the front. something isnt making since...

My opinion, and no offense meant, but I would get rid of those white letter tires on the front and match up with the rear tires. Might help a little on the stance, and would look much better IMO.

Must be an optical illusion with the RWLs. The front tires "look" bigger...
Pull it into photoshop, paint the letters black, and then see how it looks.

I'd either go with white letters on the back, or get rid of them on the front. I'm kinda partial to white letters myself, so I'd get some on the back. As far as the stance, I'd say that it's the big block in the front, might be pushing it down an inch or so, since that looks to me like a stock 2" rake.

Just my nickel's worth...

i took this picture awhile back, it was right after i had the tires mounted, i have since had the fronts fliped so the white is on the inside, bu tthe thing is i think i have lowered springs but i still dont know any way to tell if the frotn springs are stock w/o pulling em out and measuring. I didn find a yellow tag on them w/ 3935895. i dont know if this is Gm # or aftermarket. Anybody have these on their Cheyenne 10 LWB 350.
