Here is a shot of mine.
It has a 2.5" spindle on the front with a Belltech 1" coil that I actually cut a 1/2 a coil off of, for a total of about 4.5"in the front. The rear is just a flip bracket that I made due to the '96 rearend swap. I replaced the shocks in the front with Belltech Nitro Drop shocks and replaced a few bushing and the upper balljoints at the same time I installed the drop. After doing all of that, it actually rides a heck of a lot better than it did in stock trim. It has 15x8" rallies w/ 255/70r15's which calculate out to about 29" tall and they do NOT rub at all. I have future plans for 18" wheels but no bigger because I tow a ski boat with it, and don't want to ruin the ride. |

The measurement's when I started vs. when I finally finished the drop at the fenders works out to 4.5" front and 5.5" rear. I'm not totally convinced that I want to notch the rear frame because the rearend only hits the frame if I hit a hell of a bump, and I am still using the ORIGINAL rear shocks without relocators. Those are next :).
