Thanks for the info! what would be the easiest way to lower the rear?

Sweet!

I'm not too familiar with sources for drop components for leaf pickups but www.earlyclassic.com sells 4'' drop leaves and 1.5'' drop shackles. Not cheap though.

Alright heres some fresh meat for you to chew on....keep in mind its in the build stage and heres the specs so far and whats planned for it
SO FAR:

bagged with a 2 1/2" c notch with Pbar mod, 265/70/15..... up front the stock lca are cupped with 5180 monroe shocks bump/steering stops are gone 235/75/15's

the parts get here tomorrow for this

rear rallies cut and widened from 8 to 12" for the new 18.5x30x15's... new bed thats getting a tub job moving Pbar to trailing arms and flip the shock mounts for better travel and angle..this will be part of the rear axle swap to ditch the 308's for a set of 373's

the front is getting a chop job on the spare X member while the mouse motor (327) gets a new set of Vortecs and a 470 lift cam
your going to have to forgive the pics the last one was before the LCA got there new short shocks and new rear sneakers
check my build for more pics and yes its still a truck
