I was worried only a 3.5 front drop wouldn't give enough front rake with a flip kit but yours has perfect rake. I thought I would have to go 4.5 in front, not so I guess.

Thanks . It has 1 inch springs (Mcgaughys or how ever it is spelled ) and Western Chassis 2.5 inch spindles front . On the rear it has 4 inch drop springs and a 1/2 inch shackle . I have the shackle set on the 1 inch drop . I ordered the springs off ebay and the spindles/rear leafs from sporttruckdirect . It needed an alignment before and it is magnified now . I may try to get it done this week but it will probably be next week . I will measure the heights of the wheelwells then . It definitely feels different getting in/out of it than before . Havent driven it because of the alignment.

Looks good!

IMO I would lower the front/back some just to give it a more aggressive stance.

Now... if that thing isn't clean I can't imagine what your definition of clean is....
