Thanks!

It has a McGaughy's rear flip and notch. rear hangers are moved up, a leaf removed.

front has spindles and chopped coils. need to get the back down a little bit more.

i guess lowering shackles are next, maybe a 2 inch block....if you have clearance. i wondered about a flip, shackles and hangers and 4 inch blocks with a healthy step notch.....ride should be good and i could have bags to lift it 2 or 3 inches when driving?

Here's mine,









Static for now.. bags purchased but not installed. Lowering spindles and 1 loop from the coils and a flip in the rear. Thinking about tubbing the rear too.

What are your wheel specs if you don't mind me asking? Diameter, width, offset, backspacing. I just lowered my 85 c10 and the Boss 338's fit like crap.
