Ok well almost, I still have to tighten everything up and put the driveshaft back in. The driveway slants up a bit there, so it actually sits pretty level. I think I'll put a little smaller tire on the front soon and that will help. Another project almost completed.

Belltech 2.5 and a full coil cut off a set of new stock springs. Front hangers with a 5" flip kit.

Hope everything fits up and no rubbing on your front wheels. I had to do a lot of grinding I really didn't want to do on my 3.0 belltechs and 15x8 rally wheels.

Looks good

Thanks, I've had the front done for awhile and I had to grind the lower a-arm, and some off the spindles and calipers, but it works fine. I have a set of rallyes for it also and they required a little more grinding than the old Americans. Before I c-notch it I think I'll adjust the front hanger if needed.

Thanks for the kind words. I got the truck out today, and it rides pretty good. I was cruising on the highway and a motorcycle cop pulled up beside me at about 65mph. He gave me a thumbs-up, I waved and goosed it a little, he gave me a big grin and sped off.
