Pics request: Lowered Rangers!

Ok Im trying to get some ideas here, its a toss up between lifting and lowering my 2wd, I just want to see some pics of lowered truck and please post the tire size you guys use. Any lowered pics are welcome and also please note how much of a drop you did! Thanks!

Heres my '03....2/3 drop, 17" wheels, 255/50/17 tires. I chose this tire size because it looks really beefy, are wide, and are almost exactly the same overall height as the stock size tires that came on the truck so no problems with the speedo being off or affecting anything else.
