i did 3/5 3inch drop spindles and a flipkit out back(no need for c-notch)
it will sit high up front like in the first pic but i cut 3/4 of a coil off of the coil springs and it sits flat now

The front is 245/60's and rear is 275/60's. I wanna get a different set of wheel's/tires.... after the drivetrain is done though.

Anyone know where I can get some of those side window shadws like on Joe's red truck? I had some on my Benz till some one needed them more than I did.
