I am going with the stock suspension on my '50 3/4 ton. The tires and wheels that Iam using are LT-235/85 R16's on stock 6" wide Furd 8 luggers. My center of the axles and spindles are 15 1/4" from the floor. The running board brackets are 17 1/2" rear and 15 1/2" front. I am going with these this combination because the tire height is a bit over 31" and this will let me get into the 50 MPH+ range without running the 235 tight. Rear end is 4:56.

I do have to climb up into the cab. Hope this may help.
