Remember to have the Tire Specialists change the Caster & Camber or you'll be wearing out your tires on one-side, because they are currently set up for running Bias Ply Tires.
If your "Orphan Years Truck" is an F-100, the Standard size Rim is a 15", so running that size will mean you won't have to monkey around w' the gearing in your Trans for the Speedo so it will read you true sped properly.
The size that most "Orphan Years Truck" owners I know run, LT235/75R15s.

Speedo isn't an issue since my speedo is GPS it's not going to matter. Caster/Camber will be taken care of at my shop with the new alignment rack we just got
I'm more less looking for pics of other people rides with the tire size/wheel with the same amount of drop. I'm not going with 15" I'm thinking 18 or 20 with some wide tires in the rear.

I don't have any pics on my phone but it's very simple. Unbolt everything, weld perches on bottom of axle and then the shock mount bracket needs an inch of middle welded in to make it stick out away from the axle a little further otherwise not enough clearance between the shock and axle.
