My drop is done!

Well, I finally finished the drop on my truck. Overall I think it's about a 5/7 drop maybe a 4/6. I put 3 inch DJM drop spindles on the front, and a flip kit on the rear. After doing both of these, I realized that the rear was quite a bit lower than the front and didn't look how I wanted it. So I cut a coil off the front and now it sat more level but now the tires rubbed the fenders when I hit a bump! Just from taking it down the gravel road from my Dad's shop it had already put a decent sized scrape in the tire. So I decided it was time for me to buy new tires. I went with BF Goodrich Radial TA's all around. Sizes were 245/60r15 for the front and 275/60r15 for the rear. I'll post some pics below of the process, lemme know what you think.
