Finally lowered the rear! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've had my truck done, on and off, for about a year. I've been pretty happy with it, but it has always sat up a bit too high in the rear.
I have spent a good part of the last 3 weeks doing the rear suspension. I boxed the rear part of the frame, and did a weld in c-notch, installed Porterbuilt rear trailing arms, which I did a few mods to, Porterbuilt crossmember, built the panhard bar and brackets, reworked the exhaust, and installed QA1 coil-over shocks, and got a bunch of stuff powdercoated! It was a good bit of work, but I am happy with the results, and it drives and handles way better than before. Here's a few pics, the first being the way it was before:
