Re: drop picks 2 + 3
I don't have a picture of a truck with that lowering stance but I would like to make a suggestion. Typically you would want to lower the rear a bit more then the front. The rear sits higher from the factory, so the 3-2 drop you are using will make the rake even worse.
You should think about a 3-4 drop, you can use the components you have just buy a leaf spring relocator for the front of the spring. Good luck

Re: drop picks 2 + 3
sorry man no pics here either... honestly it wasnt even worth taking pics of because i was so disappointed. i rebuilt the entire front end and the put some bell tech coils under there and after i was done the front sat higher than it did before i started. i ended up just putting the stock coils back in after i hacked off 1 coil. sat nice and level after that.

Re: drop picks 2 + 3
yeah, i know the front would sit lower , but iv got an LS2 going in which weighs less than the cast iron 350, so a bit less weight pulling the front down.
and this is all just temporary untill i flip the diff and get spindles.

Re: drop picks 2 + 3
Trust me, you're going to want more rear drop.
Nothing against Northern's truck, it looks really nice, but speaking form experience, you're going to want more. A 2/4 is an awesome drop for a daily driver-weekend cruiser. I'm going lower because I'm going to be running taller tires soon and also that wheel gap had been bugging me for a couple weeks...
