87 SWB ..Pearl..

I got this 87 SWB a few months ago and have been working on her for a bit. So far 350 rebuild motor and kept the TBI. New IAC valve, window motors, windshield ect.. runs great now and the rear end is 3.73 posi. It's been fun (my last project I still have but it is an 88 non square). I have never lowered a truck so I have been looking at these sites trying to figure everything out so I thought I might post some things. So far I lowered the front 4 inches with DJM drop spindles and cut one spring. I replaced all the suspension components including the idler/pitman arm and the control arm bushings. The front end is tight and rides well now. The rear will be next and I think a flip kit would be too much so I am planning a shackle/hanger kit from Western. Again this will be new territory for me, but seems pretty straight forward.
