ECE 3.5"/5" drop went in this weekend!
Same as there 4/6 kit, just had them swap the springs.
As well as 6 lug disk brake swap.
All new grade 8 hardware wherever I could put it, and a good tube of anti seize!
Everything went in without a hitch!

Also replaced to trailing arm bushings, and ball joints!

Had a set of stock 4 nub steelies powder coated last week, still need to get new rubber on the back, but I want to wait to get the 350 long block that arrived Friday in, so I can have a little fun

... the long block will have to wait while I gather all the new parts.

I will try and get a few more picks of the stance tomorrow, Ran out of light today.

Nice work Mr Handy, Stance looks great. Your going to like those disk brakes.

cool68, yes I had power brakes, and the booster was rebuilt a few years ago.

Bruce, I was thinking that the front might be a little low, but as soon as I drove it I loved it, I may have to drop the back a little more to level it out...

I still want to be able to use it, so I may need to do the bolt/weld in notch and a pair of helper bags, then haul all day long. Steve and me bouncing on the step bumper could not get it to bottom out on the stock bump stops... can't wait to get the 350 in it!
