I personally think it is 3/3 or 3/4, compared to pics of other trucks that is.

I'm thinking of going somewhere alon the lines of 4/4, 4.5/5 or 5/5 or close

Also I'll sell of these wheels for either 20" polished coys, eagle 225's or ShowWheels USA Streeter polished....

Oh, I don't want to go too low.
Wel have a lot a bumpy roads and speedhumps and other obstacles here.
And my headers are hanging pretty low.
So a too low drop with smaller diameter wheels might get me in trouble.
