Looking tough!

However, on trucks I like the 'even' stance look.

Did you use springs up front?

if i ever get ranchos i can remove the slapper and it will sit level.

Looks good. How does it ride? If you took out a couple of the leafs out back how much lower do you think it would sit? I'm guessing about an inch and a half or so. Thanks-Josh

thanks for the props everyone.

soul rebel, if i take out the slapper and the half spring that goes to the rear it should give it about an inch and sit level. it rides the same, but corners even better. there is just a hint of negitive? camber. i'll get a front shot sometime soon.

springs 145
shackles 45
ford shackle hanger bracket \misc nuts and bolts 100
total 290

i had to get new brackets cause mine were rusting. and the bolts that went through the springs to the brackets were like eight bux apiece. plus i needed the bolts to rehang the brackets. so if you don't need to replace the brackets it could be done for a little over two hundred.

Bringing this back up to the top. I've reconsidered my drop, being that the 3/4 involves too much work (been researching a bit) and gonna go this route. I was just wondering if running a shorter tire will make it look a little better. I want the tires to have more of a low pro look. Possibly 275/50's? I would like to see pics if anyone has any. Or do you guys think that it will look too weird? Thanks-Josh

i am no tire expert, but i have always like the look of any vehicle that the tires "fill" up the fender wells as much as possible, if i understand on what you like to do, i think it would be a little wierd and too much gap, just my 2 cents
