How is your truck lowered? Drop spindles and drop springs? Gimme the details please! What paint codes?

I dropped the front with 73-87 2.5 drop spindles and 1 inch springs. The back is lowered 5 inches with drop springs. I did not notch the rear.
As far as paint codes, it is rustoleum 2x lagoon blue satin and satin white on the top bought at Home Depot.

Very Nice! Just spotted your truck in the Faux-tina paintjob thread while researching for a similar paintjob when I get that far. Got the page bookmarked, thanks for detailing out the way you did the paint!!!:metal:
