Looks good. Can you get a couple of different shots? It's tough to get the full effect.

Re: lowered my 67 PICS ,,,

Did you use the rear shock relocators?
This will help your ride greatly!

Re: lowered my 67 PICS ,,,

No , the kit came with new shocks looks like polyurethane bushings on the shocks and sway bars but no relocators ? Got a pic of them ? Link to buy them ? I have not had a lowered truck since the 80s all these parts were not available then LOL in 1985 all I neede to lower my truck was to catch dad not looking and borrow his oxygen and acetylene tanks heated them springs till the rear end and front a frames were sitting nicely on the rubber bumpers LOL those were the days ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Have you driven enough to know if you are going to have alignment issues?

Yes anytime you lower these trucks via the springs you have to realign the front end which I did as I was doing this job ,,

Re: lowered my 67 PICS ,,,

I knew you had to align them after they are lowered, just wondering if you had problems with the 3 inch drop spring, I had read other places that it was hard to get the alignment right with 3 inch drop springs.
