Alright i took some measurements, I have 2" of rake and a 1/4" of the ol chevy lean.
My ground to fender , and center of wheel to fender measurements are,
LF 29.5,(16)
LR 31.5,(17)
RF 29.75,(16.25)
RR 31.75,(17.25)
so when i put some 285/50's on i will bring the back end down .65". Then after i remove the overload i will still have ~1/2" of rake which sounds perfect to me.

Thanks
Drumroll please... $260 for all four mounted and balanced. the Bridgestones still had labels on them, and the nittos have some mileage but still have a good amount of tread left.
Im cheap and cant afford to pay full price for anything
