I will be bagging my 87 soon but will be driving it in the meantime with a 6-8" static drop. I'm thinking a 225-60-16 will be a little too short and I'll be dragging my LCA's everywhere while it's static dropped, any opinions? I would also like to be able to lay frame so I dont want to too tall of a tire, will I be able to lay frame on a 225-75-16? I was hoping to be able to use a 225-75 so I can still use an E rated tire. thanks for any help

225/75-16 is the same as a 265/35-22 or 275/25-24 which I am running on the front of my truck.

do your LCA's drag a lot? You arent bagged though right? any idea if you would still be able to lay frame if your were?

They haven't dragged yet. No bags, just 6/10 static drop. There are squares laying out on taller tires, 295/35-24's for example.

225/70/16 would look good and offer some decent load rating.
