OK so I did some more things and finally took some pictures. I got the CPP power steering done, install went smoothly no problems. I also converted the trans to a floor shift, I plan on installing a M20 4 speed trans in the future with a big block as well

So after I dropped the front 4" I knew I had to buy some rear lowering leaf springs because the shackles and removed leafs were not cutting it. I ordered them from Western Chassis and they "claim" they are 3" drop. Well, I installed them and sure enough it lifted the truck 1"......fantastic. I really REALLY am starting to dislike the gmc rear leaf springs haha. I might just end up doing a flip kit but I don't know yet. Let me know if you think my truck is dropped 5" in the back, I doubt it. Also got new wheels and tires.
