Ok guys I have the front suspension more or less done(needs shocks and alignment). The springs are 3" drop springs, and the lower control arms have been stepped 1-1/2", along with new ball-joints and tie-rod ends. The outer tie-rods are flipped to relieve the angle, with heim-joint rod ends. I think it should work really well for an old-school static drop. Whaddya think?

By the way, wheels are 15x6 smoothies, tires are 205/75s. I just put the new wheels and tires on, one of the old ones went completely flat... which was the perfect scrub-line test... and it passed with flying colors.
