I have a TCI chassis with the 2" drop spindles in front. I have a set of "rollers" off of a Ford Explorer. I really thought I'd go with a smaller diameter tire, but my front bumper is currently only about 12" off of the ground and my mufflers were dragging in my gravel driveway. I'll probably run it this way until I get a good idea if and how much lower I want to go. The Mustang GT tire (I think it's a 245-45-17(or maybe 18?)) that I have to compare the Explorer tires to, is at least 3" less in diameter (1.5" to 2" more of a drop) if I decide to go that route.

Thanks for the reply I have their complete ifs with regular height spindles with the adjustable 4 link with coilovers on the back and plan on running 18s in the front and 20s on the back but would like the front bumper to be about 8 inches off the ground. Any more input would be great thanks.

I looked at it again today and the bottom of the front bumper is currently about 8 inches off of the ground. I have the complete TCI frame, MII front suspension, and 4 link rear.
