A quick search directed me to Moddoo's truck:
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...light=285%2F55
The truck doesn't have a 2WD 2/4 drop but at least it will show you the size of 285/55-18 tires. Those tires are about 30.3" tall, which is OK on a 2/4 dropped truck. Due to the width of the tires, you may have rubbing issues in the front when you make sharp turns. It really depends on the backspacing of the wheels you are running.

Well the wheels are the Cragar 18x9 Series 616 wheels. I believe the backspacing is 30mm if i can remember correctly. I like the size of 265/60/18 too, but I'm not entirely sure that would fit on a 9" wide rim.

and just 2" shackles with the nittos(too small looking IMO)

I know the tires on the truck are toyo proxes tires. I went on Toyo's website and checked what sizes they carried them in and they carried them in both a 255/55/18 and a 285/50/18. I'm guessing from what the width looks like in the pictures that they are the 285/50/18's. I don't know whether its a 2/4 or a 3/5 drop though. Anybody got any input? Thanks again guys!

Here is my old truck with 255/55 up front, and 285/50 in the back, NT404's, and a 2/4 drop.....
