85 step side
 
Got this truck had a flip kit on the back and 2inch drop spindles and springs cut in the front. I did not like how low it was and I might need to haul stuff so took the flip kit off. But now its way to high in the back. Was thinking if I did 2 inch drop Shackles in the back and stock springs in the front should look pretty good. Any one have any photos of there trucks set up like this? I don't really want to buy new spindles.
Also the truck sits up 11/2 inch higher on the passenger side any way to fix this. This is my 3rd 73-87 truck never had one leaning like this
Thanks Jay

I'm going to try the sway bar and changing out the front springs. But yeah the lean sucks I know it will drive me crazy so I need to fix

This is my truck before and after the 2.5/2 drop. IMO it sits a little high in the rear but I like the rake. Some taller tires will be going on in the spring to fill the wheel gaps
