Re: stance of my 58

I would want it's final stance to be lower in the rear, BUT, I would not make significant adjustments until you have the full normal load over the rear, as mentioned above. Gas in the tank, bed floor in, and so forth.

FWIW, when these trucks are sitting level, there is going to be a larger gap to the front fender, than the back. My truck sits almost perfectly level. Wheels front and rear are both 17's, though the front tires are a bit shorter. I took out my old cut springs the other day, swapped in a new set of Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, new rotors, steering components and McGaughy's drop spindles. Sits about the same as before, but suspension is more correct now, with the drop being mostly spindles, rather than all spring. This truck has a '79 Camaro subframe swap done the "No Limit way".
