Got more low!

My truck has been lowered 3/4 with 3" DJM lower control arms and 4" rear springs since 1997 when I restored it. I recently bought a CPP 1 1/4" sway bar kit and decided while I was under the truck to cut 1 coil out of the front and add some 1.5" blocks to the rear so as of tonight it sits at about 5/5.5? Sounds like a weird drop but it looks like most of the 4/6's I've seen, maybe a tad lower in the front but not too much rake. Sits just right and it rides way better with the sway bar for sure, no more falling out the door feeling. I also put new 255/60/15's on, which look great now that it's a little lower. Why didn't I do this years ago!

I do have a little turning radius issue but I think it's the steering arm hitting the sway bar because I didn't use the standees on the frame and the clearance is very tight.
