So the old spring actually broke in two places. The broken part equaled 2 full coils.

CPP 2"/3" drop springs, OE length local parts house shocks, OE a-arms and trailing arms.

I may play with the stance in the future.. but right now, I am satisfied.

How's the ride? What brand shocks?

The shocks are Gabriel Ultras, you can get from Autozone, O'reilly's, ect. The ride is a lot more responsive, I get less body roll, even without sway bars. As for suspension travel, it is shortened, so it does ride a little bit more rough, so there is a little trade off. Shock relocator brackets would help with this a bit, but, I was trying to do this on a little less expensively and quickly. I do not find it to be bad, though. I feel more aerodynamic haha

Thanks Proud! The wheels I actually got to get me rolling awhile ago, since the PO had ones where the holes for the lugs were too tiny. They were fairly inexpensive from summit, then they kind of grew on me. Though they would look better if I cleaned and painted the drums and grease caps... perhaps next brake job

Unfortunately, I have hit kind of a rough patch and am having to put her up for sale. I appreciate all the support and help that this forum has provided to me, with regret I have had to turn to craigslist. Thank y'all for everything.
