Re: 'Spot'

Thank you sir.

5/7 drop
3" Belltech spindles, 1-coil sliced off of the OE springs, & Bilsteins.
OE 1.25" swap bar w/Billet frame pivots & poly bushings.

Belltech flip-kit, bolt-in C-notches w/additional reinforcement, & lower shock relocation brackets.
Western Chassis lift shackles & G-body Bilsteins w/a relocated pass side upper bracket so the shocks angles were the same (pass side was <45° angle after drop; driver side @ 58°).

2" carrier bearing spacer & modified the bed floor brace over the rear end/c-notch reinforcements.

215/75-16's on 16x6's; 265/70-16's on 16x8" Wheel Vintique 62 Series 8-lug.

Existing tailpipes had to be cut off @ the muffler exit as they interfered w/the new rear end height. Picked-up a new 2.5" dual In/Out Dynomax Ultra Flow on Saturday to replace the Flowmaster. The noise level w/the pipes cut off is crazy loud @ highway speed.

Fixed the rear frame rail issues from the previous owner & working on installing the CURT Class V hitch stuff now. Going to attempt another Hidden Hitch set-up if it doesn't over complicate things...

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
