??? for you guys sitting low.

Hi! I'm new here. Picked up a 1965 Shorted fleet side back in December and have been working on it off and on since. I've converted it to 5-lug, disc brakes up front, all new ball joints, tierods, Idler arm, pitman arm, lowering springs & shocks, drop spindles, etc. Put some 18" Ridler wheels on it. Has a 454/TH400 combo & 3.73 posi rearend. Going to be a fun truck!

To my question. I lowered the front with 3" drop springs and 2.5" drop spindles. So 5.5" up front and I went 4" in rear. I really like the stance but I'm a bit concerned about the ground clearence of the lower a-arms and center cross member. Just wandering if anyone else is like this and if they have any troubles with anything. Thought about going a little taller on the front tires and maybe going to a 2" drop spring to gain a little more. Any thoughts.
