Much better!!

What size of tires do you have? 33's? Taking the body lift off is a good thing....definitely an 80's technique. If you do want to life a bit, might go 2.5" lift....just depends on the direction you want to go. Maybe getting some 8" wheels might help suck those tires in a touch too. Looks like 10" ones now (15" dia).

I went to stock 15x8 rally's. And 35's.

Also, I've been looking for ways to improve my brakes. I've done a LOT of rebuilding, but still not as much as I want. Found this thread on using a caliper that has a slightly larger piston, so I plan on giving it a try. If you get into your brakes, bearings, hubs, etc.....might be worth checking into the larger caliper why you're at it.
