I have a 2001 ranger and i have 16 inch wheels and tires on it from a mustang. There is a gap of 5 1/2 inches in front and 6 1/2 inches in the back. Thats from top of wheel well to top of tire. On the 4/5 drop how close is it going to put to the tires and if i still have room to go what kind of mods can i do to get closer. Thanks for all your help ! ! !

well you have an extended cab so the front might drop a little more than 4". so simple math say that front should be 1 1/2" in the front and 1 1/2" in the back tire space wise. if you drop it 4/5 and it's not low enough you can cut a coil up front and flip your hangers for another 2" out back.

here's my truck with a 4/4 drop and 245/45/17 tires all the way around
