Very nice. Any shock relocation? How is the ride? My 71 burb has a 4.5/6 and rides great but I have never had a lowered square and I am about to buy one. It comes with a set of
20" torque thrust so I just need to figure the drop part out.

No shock relocation was needed with these. The ride is great. It handles a lot better than before. As with any lowered vehicle...you've just gotta be careful of the occasional pothole or poor fitting manhole cover.

I like it. The Green color and the Red smoothie wheels look good together.

Here is my 85 GMC. No idea how low it is. PO chopped the front coils and removed most of the leafs. I plan to replace everything and do a proper 4/6. Wheels are old Progressive mags with 235/70/15.

My pops 73 that we've been tinkering with for the past few months. Always been in the family since it was new, getting a full airride treatment with custom trailing arm setup instead of four link. No modified sheetmetal aside from beginning to English wheel the inner fenders in front. But we're at 3 3/8 to pinch weld in the front and about five at the back.
