Swapped out the front torched springs for the proper drop springs. Those torched springs are pretty ugly. Now 2" drop in the front so I don't over-do it. The rears were already at a 4" drop. This is in anticipation of getting new rubber for it. Here's one place where I'm departing slightly from the purist minimalist restored shop truck vision. The front tires are 255/60/15 and the rears are 255/70/15. The fronts look a little too short and the rears look a little too tall for the wheel wells. Then I swapped front and rear tires and saw that the 70s were too tall for the front and the 50s were too short for the rear. CONCLUSION: 60s will likely be best for front and rear. I'm also kind of glad that it looks best with same size tires all the way around. Some vehicles look great with a rubber rake. But on the practical side, having all the 4 the same makes life simpler. And I do like them a little wider so it will be 275/60/15 all the way around when I get money for tires.
