How tall are the drag radials compared to your 17'' tires?

I'm on the fence with changing to 3.73's on a 6L80, i'm gonna try a shorter 28'' drag radial for the track... that should also simulate about a 4.10 rear gear swap...

i think im only going 3/4" lower with custom drop shackles vs a complete drop kit. i got other things i wanna do other than spend another 500 on a drop. besides i still have to dyno tune the truck, replace the muffler, add 3 bolt flanges to
the LTs/Y pipe, plus install gears and another set of rims/tires if im not married by then
