Very nice ride... What are the wheel/tire specs? I have a 4" beam and the same rear drop plates coming in the mail... I'm running 205/65's rear, 175/65's front... I'm a little concerned about the fronts rubbing... Thanks

Thanks y'all !!

The suspension, wheel, & tire info is:
5 " beam w/ drop spindles, 3" drop plates on the rear.
Wheels are Et 13 front & rear. Front tires are 155/60/15 and rear are 205/65/15.

Yeah, I was able to work some of the surface rust and streaking down with CLR, but left a little so it still had that look.
