Very nice, love the stance!
What size tires are you running, front and rear, and also what drop?

gotcha, thanks for the info! So you stayed with approx. 28" tall tires all around then.
Can't tell from that photo alone, but it looks like the front is plenty low, no? Now do you have a 5.5/7 drop, or are you using some newer 2" drop spindles, instead of the more common 2.5, making it an actual 5" drop?
What about rear, 6" drop coils and 1" block, or what? Are you notched?
How do you intend to get more drop up front?

still wondering about the truck with 17's on it...

I used a dropped spring 3" and when i originally built this truck i built some stepped lower control arms that have a 2" drop. I am not sure how i will lower it more yet or if i will. The rear is dearched leafs with bell tech flip kit and a notch. This setup has been on the truck since it was put toghether in87-90. Does this mean it's old skool? That is how we were doing it back then.
