Re: Does this look like a 5" drop?

Your pinion needs about 3-4 degree adjustment too, it will hold down the driveline vibes at freeway speeds. I also second what Keith suggested. Have you considered C Notching it? It looks like (to me) those springs might be kinda soft ? Ex. overll spring rate? I have Belltech 5" springs in my 67 and it's not that low. Mine is Cnotched but still, it's not that close to the frame.

I was just driving 80mph with no vibration, but I will look into pinion angle correction, thanks for the tip.

Shocks, relocators and adjustable track bar is already done.

I ain't notchin' my frame, just not my thing.
not sure about the spring specs. They are CPP -5" springs. I need the truck to set about 1 to 1.5" higher in the rear and I'm open to suggestions on springs.
I am looking for a quality set of -4" springs, and If it sets a little high, I still have 1" blocks I could put back in.
The new springs do set 3/4" higher on the passenger side than the driver side...so that's good
