New stance! Finally!

I finally got the spindles and flip-kit mounted! It still seems to sit about an inch lower on the passenger side front, but I'm hoping some new 2" lower springs will fix that right up. Going to order those tonight. Also going to order some new shocks all around. I think I may go an inch or so lower in the rear as well, but I'm still not 100% sure yet. I'll get the front lowered and see where it is from there.

Anyhow, the front passenger side wheel still seems to fit about an inch or so further in, so I may just have my Dad make a spacer for me until it comes time for me to do the frame-off restoration (but that will be a while).

I also think the rear wheels sit further in than what I would like, so I may also get some adapters for it. I plan on driving it daily, so I really need to be able to rotate the tires (otherwise I would have gone with wider wheels in the rear).

I'll be hitting all that rust in the rear under-carriage next weekend and painting it all black, along with adding a smooth roll-pan, adding some tailgate hidden links and latches, and replacing the factory tail lights with some custom teardrop LED's on the roll pan.

So, what do you guys think so far?
