well if you did the front drop springs would get you one more inch in front. Are you using stock shackles in rear still?

yeah rear stock shackle. DJm makes a lifting shackle in rear which will lift the truck up about 1 inch if you dont watn to lift the truck up in rear then other option is to cut the front springs or get 3 inch springs.

You could do the lifting shackle in rear and front cut about 1/2 loop

Easy to cut spring? Does it take away anything? If I keep rear and lower front, how's that affect when I get 22s? Better to lift rear?

rear wont mater you can stuff a fat tire in rear the front has less fenderwell space.

Id do a 285 45 22 in rear and like a 285 35 22 in front. I have the same combo on my f150 looks good.

aQuestion your at 27.5 rear and 29 front right now? What size tires??

With a 22x9.5 rear you can do a 285 45 22 no issues in rear

For example here is my truck
285 35 22 front
285 45 22 rear
22x9.5
In front 30 inches from ground to fenderlip and in rear 31.25 (about)

IN this view you can see the 285 45 22 protects the rim and the wheel doesnt really stick out

as for tires here is the 285 35 22 which was on rear before (you can really see how ****** rear brakes look front was just as bad thats why I had to repaint it all)
