Tire Size/Height

Assuming a "55" stock front axle with lowering springs, 3"-5" drop. What size tire fit's without issues? Overall height is mainly what I'm interested in. I can figure wheel size and offset.

re tire size

Hello gfw1985, I have stock axle and have installed short and smooth springs from mid-fifty. I am using 15" chrome smoothie wheels with 235/75/R15s no problem. Mid Fifty has some handy tools on their web site. first is the lowering tool a neat animated thingy that shows you what the truck will look like once you have lowered it via various means. Check it out: Lowering Calculator - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts Also they have a wheel clearance tool: Rear Wheel Clearance Calculator - Mid Fifty F-100 Parts Hope these help.
