Looking to slam an '88 CC dually

Yeah, I tried to look and noticed it was down.

I already have all the stuff laying around here that I can get a helper setup put on. All I need are some valves. So that's already part of the plan.

I did some research and this is what I found out when it comes to tire size my current tire size is 235/85 R16 load range E which is 31.5" tall

215/85R16 Load Range E is 30.5" Tall
225/75R16 Load Range E is 29.5" Tall

I plan on sticking to Load Range E tires because I will still be using the truck to tow. But if I run the 225/75R16's I'll gain 2 more inches on my 4" drom front and back to a grand total of 6" and will still be able to tow my trailer.  If it still rides rough I'll remove some of the rear leaf springs and install the Airlift airbag's

After the lowering kit

The 225/70s I was looking at may not be load range E, but they still give me plenty of load range for what I'll be using it for.

Figured I'd throw out some pics of my starting point:

Well, one obstacle cleared today. I was somewhat worried about getting this sucker on an alignment rack with a 6/8 drop. Then, I remembered years ago when I first had the 5/8 put on my truck, that my friend's dad's alignment store that I went to used their pit rack to align it. Last time I was there for an alignment, they put the vehicle up on a more modern rack, so I asked him if they still had and used the pit. He said I'm good to go!

You know, it's killing me, but the more I look around the net at all these square body duallies laid out, the more I'm tempted to just say f it and go all the way...

I see you figured it out.  It was a bitmap so that is where the size limitation was coming from...
