Progress shots. *56k warning*
Sittin Pretty with the front down another 1 or 1 1/2 inches or so. Not gonna be able to notch the rear today, but I am gonna flip it and only do a 1" shackle. Ill just be careful so I dont bottom out too much.
Its got a really good sport truck rake to it right now.

yeah, it sits pretty good for the front being where it is. But when I return my spindles Im prolly ordering some 3" springs in place of em. So the rear has to go down.

The front has 2.5" spindles and I cut a coil out. Soooo, im not sure what kinda springs were in there. They MIGHT have been stock, who knows. I started putting on my WC spindles last night and got one on, remeasured, and it was like 1/4" higher, I took a look and placed the spindles side by side and it turns out I already had lowering spindles on there. Prolly really old Belltech ones that werent marked. So im returning the spindles and getting some 2" or 3" springs. Im just finishing up the flip right now. Unless I can preform a miracle, I dont think the notch will be done today.
Its gonna be tight in the back for a while. Looks like only 2" of clearance.  More reason to get that notch in and springs on! Its quite a gratifying experience ripping the entire suspension apart. God ive never been so dirty in my life. More pics coming soon! Gonna be riding cali crawl sytle for a bit

Wow. that is LOW! I have light duty leafs on mine with one leaf removed, a flip kit & rear shackles & it sits maybe 2 1/2" over the frame with the box off. Im betting that you have drop leaf springs on yours too...corn
