The nice thing about steppers in my opinion is the ease of 'modding' for additional clearance in the rear if desired. Some measuring/trimming, some fleetside wheel tubs bolted in, & boom..... more room. There's more to it but it's do-able.

Stick w/a tire sidewall as close to or greater than 4" tall for better ride quality (a 245/40-20 would be as short as I would go up front). The taller the sidewall, the better the ride should be.

You mentioned a planned 4/6 drop (mild). Mild drops can handle a ~28" front/29-30" rear tire w/o much (any) issue. More drop or taller tire in front will start to yield clearance problems w/factory inner wheel wells.

Thanks for your input, great help
