Help me figure out what drop I need

I want a raked drop and I have searched but haven't found the pic of one with that drop and wheel size/backspace to know what it would look like and just buying parts is an expensive guess but I want it to be lower with a rake and the tires in the location pictured. What drop can I do?

I was thinking 2 or 2.5 inch front and 2 inch shackles in the rear

Here is a pic of my truck at stock height with 15x10 wheels, I'm not sure of the backspace but it is deep

If you got to have the 10's in the front. Just do a 2 inch spring and 2 inch shackles in the back.

Re: Help me figure out what drop I need

For alignment purposes the spindles would be the best way to go depending on how good of a front end alignment guy you use. If you use a good guy that is knowledgeable the springs would be the cheaper way. I seen some 3" spindles for sale on the parts board that might be worth looking into. Good luck with your search.
