I have a lot of rake on Homade but I can't post pictures so you will have to look in my gallary to see it. It has 215x55 R16 on front and 285x60 R16 on rear, 94 camaro ifs and 94 camarp rear end on 86 s10 rear springs, I like the old school look, Garry

Shane,
Good looking truck. I'm doing the TCI kit with the 2" drop spindles, too. What did you end up with tire/wheel sizes and what wheel backspace did you use?
