If you do a flip you will have to section the frame, I have a brand new one that I didn't use if your interested, I will give you a good price ;)

So changed out the old and very beat up looking hanger bearing and now my vibration is gone! so that makes me a happy camper.

-fix leaky valve cover
-fix leaky oil pan
-fix oil press guge
-fix dash lights (they majically all came back on while driving?) DONE

then yours

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...n/IMG_2569.jpg

your front spring eye dosnt look as if its up as high as your and the arc almost looks tighter (I'm guessing that how I want to explane it) or maybe I'm just seeing things but I see your shocks are both to the front as were mine and 502's have one going each way
can i just swap out the main leaf or i have to do the whole pack?

I think it would be easier to build a 4-link and bag it than to keep messing around with those leaf springs...and you'd end up with a better ride.

If you can weld and run a grinder you're half way there....think I had around $500 in mine.....steel, bushings, and two bags. It's worth looking into especially if you want to go real low anyway...

looks good so far, you just need to decide how your gonna lower the back a little more and get it one color.
I think with your spring's you could do the flip kit with only cut'n the extra sqare stock off the bottom.
then save up for some 22.5's !
