Heres my 66...

Front- CPP drop spindles, one coil cut off the stock springs, bump stop bracket completely removed from the LCA, KYB Gas-A-Just shocks, stock 15x5.5" wheels, 1.5' bolt on wheel spacers, 215/75 tires. No rubbing over bumps or when turning full lock.

Rear- D2600 bags bolted directly to the trailing arms, top has short cups to make room for the air fitting. 1.5" drop blocks to keep the bags from being as compressed at ride height. Bump stop shortened but it only has about 1.5" of travel at this height so I need to do a 2" pipe notch. Shocks relocated via the Frizzle Fry method. 8" wheels, 235/75 tires.
