Wheels are 16x8 with 235/60 16 tires all around.
Drop in front, using 2" drop spindles from CPP
Drop in rear, using 2" longer shackles from Western Suspension (they also make leaf springs in 3" & 4" drop). I am still using the stock leaf springs as I wanted to retain the original stance, just 2" lower.

The whole project took less than a day. Recommend spraying penetrating oil in the back leaf spring shackle nuts the day before to make breaking them loose easier. Whole project cost $230 (parts), my labor, priceless LOL. Mention this forum when ordering from CPP to receive an extra 10% discount.
