20X8.5 in the front w/ a 5" backspacing and 22x10 in the rear w/ 5.5 backspacing will make it tuck perfectly ;)

I wouldn't say that, mine won't crank/run.... yet.  I need to attach the tilt to the frame and the bed needs going over before it is straight.

Check this page out:  http://www.loweredd.com/Frame_Z.html

A stock floor bodydrop has nothing to do with the body, it is really called a Frame Z.  Not sure why someone started calling it that but it has been known as Z-ing the frame forever.

Well, your truck looks good too Cap, I had it as my desktop picture for a while(I liked the body mods and the impala wheels).  But yeah, Mikeith you got a nice truck man.
