Lowered my longbed today

Finally got around to lowering the truck. 3/4 ton long bed... I used 2 1/2" dropped spindles in the front (from POL). Really easy to install but it threw my alignment way off- both wheels toe out about 2" from before- no biggee an alignment will fix that...

For the back, I pulled the 6 pack leaf spring and sent them to A-1 Spring in Oakland, ca. The owner Rueben removed one leaf and then de-arched the springs. He tool 4 1/2" out of each pack. Only I problem I see- looks like the wheel moved forward a bit in the wheel well....

Next is rims and tires, I had a nice set of aluminum wheels picked out, but now I'm thinking 16 x 10" rear and 16x 8" fronts, powder coated white and then polish the hub caps.....
