1/2 
 ton
 the suspension is completely stock   considering 15x8 on rear with 275/60 
and 
 15x7 on front with a smaller 70 series tire   i am looking for good height 
so 
 not kill the already low gear ratio and also to try to get as much tire 
 underneath the rear
 as i can without clearance problems     do any of you have any guidance or 
 recommendations?      what are your feelings on 14's on the front to give it 
 that
 "raked" look?             thanks    michael layton >>


  Messes with the alignment a bit, may need to shim the front axle to 
compensate, not a major task.

  But personally I've gotten away from too much difference in front/rear tire 
hiegth now that I run a posi-traction rearend.
