      Stance about right?

      The weather being so nice convinced me to take a drive and get a new photo with the new springs and suspension setup. I was afraid the back was still too high but now, I think I'll leave it alone.

      Looks perfect. What rims are they? What width, backspaces, and tire sizes? Are they the widest that would fit, or do you have some extra room?

      Thanks for the comments guys.

      The wheels are Boyd Smoothie IIs. 18X8 front and 18X10 rear. Backspacing is 4.5 front and 6 rear. Tires are BFG KDW2 255/40 front and 295/35 rear. That's all I can get in there with stock wheel wells. No bottoming out or scrapes at this point but I don't have a lot of miles on it. I have one exhaust head pipe that's going to have to get tucked up a little better. Springs are from Pro-touring F-body. I have the GT springs up front and the Competition leafs out back per Dave's advice. Thanks, Dave.

      Thanks to all of you for the kind comments.

      I appreciate the comments on my photography skills as well. That wasn't a lot of work. I think I may have taken 2 minutes to shoot that. But having about 30 years behind the camera in some capacity or another as a professional helps. LOL!

      Critter, you're running stock arms right? How much caster were you able to get?

      Great stance, the bigger question is how do you like the ride and handling characteristics? I have been thinking about going with that setup for stage 1 of my build and maybe do a Torque Arm down the road. I would love to hear a review of these springs.

      I think you nailed the stance, looks great. What kind of parts did you swap?
